Shine forth (ἐκλάμψουσιν)

The compound verb with ἐκ, forth, is designedly used to express a dissipating of darkness which has hidden: a bursting into light. The righteous shall shine forth as the sun from behind a cloud. The mixture of evil with good in the world obscures the good, and veils the true glory of righteous character.

[1] Then

The kingdom does not become the kingdom of the "Father" until Christ, having "put all enemies under his feet," including the last enemy, death, has "delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father" 1Cor 15:24-28 Rev 20:2. There is triumph over death at the first resurrection 1Cor 15:54,55 but death, "the last enemy," is not destroyed till the end of the millennium. Rev 20:14.
