Bible Note: 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! |
