Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Son . . . himself . . . subject--not as the creatures are, but as a Son voluntarily subordinate to, though co-equal with, the Father. In the mediatorial kingdom, the Son had been, in a manner, distinct from the Father. Now, His kingdom shall merge in the Father's, with whom He is one; not that there is thus any derogation from His honor; for the Father Himself wills "that all should honor the Son, as they honor the Father" (John 5:22-23; Hebrews 1:6).
God . . . all in all--as Christ is all in all (Colossians 3:11; compare Zechariah 14:9). Then, and not till then, "all things," without the least infringement of the divine prerogative, shall be subject to the Son, and the Son subordinate to the Father, while co-equally sharing His glory. Contrast Psalms 10:4; Psalms 14:1. Even the saints do not fully realize God as their "all" (Psalms 73:25) now, through desiring it; then each shall feel, God is all to me.
