QUESTION ASKED:
What did Apostle Paul mean by saying, the last enemy to be destroy is "death''?
REPLY:
We find the emergence of the last enemy, Death, at Rev.6:7-8.
"His" forces... (Heb.2:14; John10:10; Rev.9:11; Isa.33:1) (Eph.2:2; Rev.16:13-16; 20:7-9; 12:15,17; 13:4,7,10; Col.2:8; Luke 21:24) ...arise in the time of the 4th living creature/watchman (Rev.6:7-8), during the great tribulation (Eze.14:21-22,5; Rev.13:14-15; 19:20; 2:20). This "Death" is not speaking of physical death, which has existed since Eden (Rom.5:12), but the power to bring spiritual death, to those who were born again as spirit
(Rom.8:9; 1Pet.1:23) (John3:6; 6:63; 2Cor.11:4; 1Tim.4:1; Rev.3:11 > James 1:12) (Rev.3:1-2).
It is that 4th "living creature", who gives voice to the "7 angels" (Rev.15:7; 16:1; 8:2; Isa.58:1), through which, God's wrath against His enemies, is dispensed (Rev.16:1; 15:1). The "trumpets"/voices of the seven "angels">(Greek:messengers) symbolizes, the recorded words of the prophets, who were sent by Jesus to his congregations/churches (Rev.1:20; Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3,10,4; Rev.22:10,16; 10:7). They manifest the spirit of prophecy into the earth (Rev.19:10; 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6; 1Cor.14:32).

Death is one of the enemies of Christ, that needs to be subdued by him through the power of God (Ps.110:1-2; 1Cor.15:25), in order for God's kingdom to arrive (1Cor.15:24-26; Rev.20:14; 21:4; Isa.25:7-8).
It is conquered through the remnant of Zion/Christ's brothers (Ps.110:2; Rev.17:14; 19:11,14; Eph.2:6; 2Cor.10:3-5)-(Mark 14:62; Heb.12:1; Rev.11:3,5; Jer.5:14) - (1Cor.15:53-55; Rev.2:7,10-11,28; 3:5; Mark 8:35; Rev.12:10-11) when they face and conquer the forces that bear the sting of Death (Rev.9:3,10; 1Cor.15:55,57).
