The creation The term "creation" (Greek: κτίσις, ktisis) refers to the entirety of the natural world, encompassing all that God has made. In a conservative Christian perspective, this includes not only the physical earth and its ecosystems but also the universe at large. Theologically, this highlights the belief that all of creation is under God's sovereign rule and is intricately connected to humanity's spiritual journey. The use of "creation" here suggests a collective entity that is personified, indicating that it shares in the anticipation of God's redemptive plan. waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God "Mid onward sloping motions infinite, Making for one sure goal." The whole creation is looking earnestly and intently for the same manifestation of glory as ourselves. Earnest expectation--A single word in the Greek, and a very striking one. It means, literally, a straining forward with outstretched head, just as we might imagine the crowds outside a race-course straining over the ropes to catch a sight of the runners; an eager, intent expectation. The same word is used once again in the New Testament (Philippians 1:20). Creature.--Creation, the whole world of nature, animate and inanimate. Waiteth for.--Another strong word, "waits with concentrated longing and expectancy." Manifestation.--Translate rather by the ordinary word, revelation, as in the last verse ("glory which shall be revealed"). The Parusia, or Coming of Christ, is to be accompanied by an appearance of the redeemed in glorified form.
