According to Paul, Christ's Resurrection initiates the End of the World

He viewed Christ's Resurrection as a sign that the general resurrection was imminent

Jesus is the "first fruits of those who have died"
This means that soon all the dead will be resurrected Paul drew no distinction between Jesus' Resurrection and the General Resurrection

When you see the "first fruits", you know that the harvest is imminent

That is why Paul says, "we will not all die"

He believed the End of the World was imminent.
