People that are last chose to stay behind and help others catch up and it takes patience to miss out on things u could of had if u chose to keep going and winning over others so the ones that are last have made great sacrifices to hang bk to do gods work or to do something that can help others. Being last can involve patients as well I can't explain what Jesus meant but I understand because god finds favour in the hearts of people who became last by doing what's right in the eyes of god

[xMCxVSxARBITERx]

He was probably speaking about His chosen people, Isreal, the Jews, who have always had God but will be the last to see Him for their hearts have been hardened. But one day they too shall know whom they have pierced, ie the Lord Himself! God is full of grace and in this way He has enabled the promises of His chosen people to include also the gentiles and the rest of the world, that we too may be with Him in heaven! Then He returns to the hearts of His chosen nation to let them also be with Him in heaven, so that some who were the first shall be the last! Amen!

The last is first to enter God's Kingdom.
.
The first is the mustard seed that grows.
.
This is the first to enter God's Kingdom:
.
Revelation 12:5
And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was caught away to God and to his throne.
.
Keep reading in Revelation Chapter 12:
.
Revelation 12:10
** NOW ** have come to pass the salvation and the power and ** THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD ** and the authority of his Christ,
.
The AUTHORITY of his Christ.
.
This conflicts with what Jesus Christ said immediately after being resurrected:
.
Matthew 28:18
And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “ALL AUTHORITY has been given me in heaven and on the earth.
.
It is resolved by what Jesus Christ said while quoting Psalm 2 about someone other than himself:
.
Revelation 2:26-27
And to him that conquers and observes my deeds down to the end ** I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY ** over the nations, 27 and he shall shepherd the people with an iron rod so that they will be broken to pieces like clay vessels ** THE SAME ** as I have received from my Father
.
.
The King of The Nations (Tribe of Ephraim) is the first to enter God's Kingdom and sit on his throne.
.
A man who will become ** THE SAME ** as Jesus Christ.
.
A second Messiah aka Christ.
.
The first man to be "Born Again".
.
He is the mustard seed that grows, the woman's seed who conquers Satan.
.
Read Psalm 2.
.

Well me last will right at the last lol I'm so dumb

[PeterProf]

The last shall be first and the first shall be last: REINCARNATION. kings will be paupers and paupers will be kings. The rich will experience being poor and the poor will experience being rich. The great equalizer: REINCARNATION.

Jesus said: This generation shall not pass until all things are fulfilled. Idiotic statement unless, he is talking about REINCARNATION.

Paul said: Jesus learned obedience from his suffering. Idiotic statement unless Paul is talking about REINCARNATION.

In the Book of Revelation: Chapter 20: The first resurrection is the reincarnation of evolved souls.
The second resurrection is the reincarnation of unevolved souls.
