“The subjection of Christ within God”
1 Corinthians 15:27 "For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all".
SUBJECT: G5293 ὑποτάσσω hupotasso (hoop-ot-as'-so) v. According to Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English. the Greek word here, G5293 ὑποτάσσω hupotasso,
this word is used as a verb, and not a noun. (that will alert one quickly)
LOOK IT UP. as a verb one can quickly see, or understand what subject means here in context.
a. put within, b. will. lets look at both and understand this revelation. according to the second definition of subject in the Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary
as a verb, it means 2. To put under or within the power of. (there is our revelation, “within”
within the power of). let's back this up with our second understanding. G5293 ὑποτάσσω hupotasso (hoop-ot-as'-so)
as a verb which means 1. to subordinate
2. (reflexively) to obey
[from G5259 and G5021]
KJV: be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.
please notice, the KJV can translate subject, G5293 ὑποτάσσω hupotasso, as be under obedience, which bring us to our second understanding. lets see this in scripture, Matthew 26:42 " He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done”. now here is the revelation. the Lord Jesus is God “OWN” arm, scripture, Isaiah 63:5 " And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold:
therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me”. so being his “OWN” arm it is
through, or “within” the agency of the Lord Jesus Christ that his, (GOD), OWN “will” is done, hence the obedience. this is proven out in the definition of G5293 ὑποτάσσω hupotasso itself. the definition also states from G5259 and G5021,
lets see what G5259 ὑπό hupo (hoop-oh') states. under (with the genitive case) of place (beneath),
or
with verbs (the agency or means, through) (with the accusative case) of place (whither (underneath) or where (below) or time (when (at)) In the comparative, it retains the same general applications, especially of inferior position or condition, and specially, covertly or moderately.
[a primary preposition]
KJV: among,
by, from, in,
of, under,
with
examine definition #2 above carefully, it said, when used with a verb. there is our conformation,
the agency or means, "through”. and “through” is synonyms with “
WITHIN”. so when G5259 is use in VERB form, meaning with a verb as in “
BE” subject as here in 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 then it is understood to be used as the
“agency or means, through”. other words Isaiah 63:5 is totally correct and on point when God said, " And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me”. the power is in,
or within God, HIS “own” arm, which the Lord is, “God’s own arm is God himself in flesh. that’s all that is needed, the Holy Spirit, (the Revelator) and an old English dictionary like the Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary. in which the Holy Spirit will enable us, or give us the ability to root out words and their meaning to understand the old English language used at that time when the bible was written.
verse 28 "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself “
be” subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all". not "subject", but "
be" subject. that present of that verb "be" change the whole context...... Oh my, my, my.
and KNOWING this information, the "GREATER THAN I" question is answered. because is the context in Greater, "Quantitative ", or "Qualitative"
oh, the beauty of "Diversified Oneness".

We also see the Holy Spirit, the Son and the Father active in the creation of all things in many places in Scripture. And we know only God can be the Creator of all things.
