Who will have control over the delivered creation?
The children of God will have control over the delivered creation. Believers become children of God, and they will rule and reign with Christ, who will rule as King of Kings. Together they will exercise dominion over the restored new creation brought out from beneath the curse.
Les explains that the creation itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption and restored as it was before Adam fell. In that restoration, wildlife will no longer fear other species or man, and nothing will eat meat; everything will eat what grows naturally, as it did before Adam sinned. This will happen when the Kingdom is set up. Verse 21 asks who will gain control of the delivered creation, and the answer is the children of God. Les points out that when you become a believer, you become a child of God. All creation is waiting for the day when Christ will rule as King of Kings, and believers will be ruling and reigning with Him, in dominion over this glorious new creation brought out from underneath the curse.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
