The "last enemy", death, is to be brought to nothing.

True servants of God are looking forward to that Bible prophecy to soon be fulfilled (1st Corinthians 15:26). When they were created, Adam and Eve had no enemies whatsoever. They were perfect humans who lived in a beautiful paradise. They enjoyed a close relationship with their Creator as His son and daughter (Genesis 2:7-9; Luke 3:38). Their life prospects were indicated in the very commission or assignment God gave them (Genesis 1:28). To "fill the earth and subdue it" could be accomplished in a certain amount of time. But to continue to have "in subjection every living creature that is moving on the earth", Adam and Eve would need to live forever, Adam never having to abdicate his oversight by dying. Although they had the prospect of living forever, Adam and Eve were not immortal. To keep living, they had to breath, drink, sleep, and eat. More important, their life depended on their relationship with their Life-Giver, Jehovah God (Deuteronomy 8:3) Accepting God's guidance would be essential for their continuing to enjoy life. Sadly, they disobeyed and lost out on everlasting life for themselves and any future offspring (Romans 5:12). Very soon in mankind's coming history under the Kingdom reign of God's appointed son and appointed King, Jesus Christ, "death will be no more" (Revelation 21:4,5 and and Acts 17:26)
