Make sure you read the entire section in context of the verse. You will find that it is talking about God's natural creation (the earth), and us, his children. ischus |

Why would and how can "all nature" wait expectantly? My dog does, but not my geraniums? And specifically, why would it be concerned about "the revealing of the sons of God?" I think you're right that the creation is talking about us, so why are we eagerly awaiting the revealing of the sons of God?" I believe Hebrews 11:39,40 relates to this passage. These sons must have a special role that will benefit others of mankind that do not share that role, such as all the faithful mentioned by Paul who died before Christ provided the ransom. At 1 Cor 15:22-26, "those who belong to Christ" are raised first, the first and better resurrection. But others will benefit when death is done away with by the kingdom which Jesus promised "a little flock" would reign. (Luke 12:32) The 'other sheep, not of that little fold' will be blessed in connection with them. (John 10:16) At Dan 7:13,14,15, the vision foretells of Jesus receiving kingdom power, but so do the "saints" or "holy ones of the Supreme One." (v.18) These will crush all opposers of the kingdom so that the earth can be what God originally purposed - Paradise. Yes, some will rule as kings in heaven over the earth,(Rev5:9,10)but the kingdom of course has subjects - that's us, the creation that keeps on groaning and being in pain, awaiting the revealing of the sons of God! |

Although we can't understand the full depth of this chapter as it seems to be quite explosive in its implications, I do think that God and His creation show a wonderful quality. Just as the heavenly bodies show the tremendous design and beauty of His creation, they also show His wisdom and patience. I do think that here, Paul is referring to christians of all time from then to now and to the last day of this existing creation. Appreciate your digging this up and God bless. |

Proverbs 2:1-5 promises: "My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God." This harmonizes with Jesus' famous words that "you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Paul's words at Romans 8:19 as well as elsewhere must have been meant to be clearly understood, for he himself admonished fellow Christians: "Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? 9So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air." (1 Cor 14:8,9) I would be happy to further share my thoughts on any Bible question as 'I received free so I give free." |
