The last enemy to be defeated is Death.
Death is the absence of Life.
The only way to defeat a void, is to fill it.
The only way to defeat death, is to fill it with life.
Jesus, who is God said - I am the way, the truth, and the life.
Jesus is Life. God is Life.
Anyone who is not full of Life, is under the principle of Death.
Death brings pain.
Hell by orthodox tradition, is the highest form of Death - perpetual, eternal, ceaseless, painful destruction. Hell is eternal pain - or else it is not Hell. Hell is separation from God. Hell is therefore, separation from Life. Separation from Life is to be absent of Life, which is to be under the principle of Death.
If Jesus, who is God, who is Life - promises to defeat Death, the last enemy; defeating death by filling death with life - defeating death (the absence of life) by filling it with himself (life)...
In order to defeat an enemy, you must defeat it completely, by filling Death where ever it may be found - which is especially, and at its pinnacle; found in people, the children of Adam, who brought Death into the world
Then it stands to reason, that Jesus will defeat Death, by filling everyone who is absent of life, with Life: HIMSELF.
Hell according to Tradition, and Orthodoxy are two things: The pinnacle of Death, the second death, perpetual, eternal, pain. Hell is also said, to be separation from God. Separation from God is to be absent of God, to be absent of God is to be absent of Life, to be absent of Life is to be under the principle of Death...
If anyone is still under the principle of Death, then Death has not been defeated.
If everyone must be full of Life therefore, for Death to be defeated, then everyone must be full of God, to be full of God is to be saved...if everyone is saved...
Then no one is left in Hell...
Yep...
Just another sword for the saints of the Good News to use...

Joh 12:24 verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;
You have to die to have life.
