Why is all creation looking forward to the manifestation of God's children?
All creation looks forward to the manifestation of God's children because that event will trigger the final days of the curse. The seven-year tribulation will be God's way of paying off Satan's mortgage, and believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
Les explains that everything in nature—the mountains, rocks, rivers, birds, and animals—is waiting for the day when the children of God will be manifested. He connects this to the believer's Blessed Hope: not a cop-out, but a sudden translation from this life to the eternal with new bodies, to be with the Lord forever in an instant. The timing is unknown, and no dates are set. As globalism, global religion, global economies, and global government appear, it signals the nearness of the Antichrist. But before that, believers will be snatched away, caught up in 1 Thessalonians, and meet the Lord in the air. Creation anticipates that day because it will trigger the final days of the curse—the seven years of tribulation as God's way of paying off Satan's mortgage, as studied in Revelation chapter 5.
