How do you guys understand this passage, especially verse 28?

But now, the Anointed One has been raised from among the dead as a first fruit of those who have gone to sleep. For since there is death through a human being, there is also a resurrection of the dead through a human being. For just as in Adam all people die, in the same way also all people will be made alive in the Anointed One. But each one will do so by his own arrangement. The Anointed One was a first fruit. After that, those who were the Anointed One's in his presence. Then the end will come, when he will have delivered up the kingdom to Father God, when he will have deactivated all rule and all authority and power. For it is necessary for him to be king until indeed [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"[/FONT]he has placed all of his enemies under his feet.[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"[/FONT]388 Death, the last enemy, has been stripped of power, for [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"[/FONT]he has arranged all things under his feet.[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]" [/FONT]But when it is said, [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"[/FONT]all things are arranged under him,[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]" [/FONT]it is a given that the one who arranged all things under him is an exception. But when he has arranged all things under him, then also the son himself will arrange himself under the one who arranged everything under him, so that God may be everything in everything.​

I have heard it said that the passage indicates that God wishes to and will give all that HE is and has to humanity to share in His total joy. In other words, some believe that this passage reveals that God's purpose for creation is to reproduce Himself. What are you all's thoughts?
