in hope
21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
there it is: the creation itself was subjected to bondage to decay in the hope that it will receive the glory of salvation through the mercy of God, the very same hope which is our own faith.
is this not speaking of the redemption of the earth and all her creatures? what does it mean for an ocelot to obtain the freedom of the glory of salvation?
heartless, soulless, mindless, terminal annihilation as their hope doesn't seem like a very good interpretive fit to me.
