What is all of creation waiting for according to Romans 8?
All of creation is waiting for the day when the children of God will be manifested. This manifestation will trigger the final days of the curse, and it is tied to the believer’s Blessed Hope—the sudden translation from this life to the eternal, with new bodies, to be with the Lord forever.
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. This is the believer’s Blessed Hope, not a cop-out, because believers will suddenly be translated from this life to the eternal with new bodies to be with the Lord forever in an instant. It may happen today, tomorrow, or later; no dates are set. The rise of globalism, global religion, economies, and government are signs we are close to the Antichrist’s appearance. But before that, believers will be snatched away, caught up as in 1 Thessalonians, and meet the Lord in the air. All creation looks for that day because it will trigger the final days of the curse—the seven-year tribulation being God’s way of paying off Satan’s mortgage, as studied in Revelation chapter 5.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
