Romans 8:18-23 “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God”. “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope” “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body”.
English “creature” emboldened in Romans 8:19, 20 & 21 and “creation” emboldened in Romans 8:22 were translated from Greek feminine noun 2937 ktisis which was also translated into English “creature” in Romans 1:25 “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen”. English “Creator” emboldened in Romans 1:25 was translated from Greek verb 2936 ktizo which was translated into English “were created” in Revelation 4:11 “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” which is an integral part of God’s plan because English “pleasure” emboldened in Revelation 4:11 was mistranslated from Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema which was 62 times correctly translated into English “will”. We were all created to do God’s will. God is leaving “seven thousand” “election” to himself because God knows they will do God’s will. God has removed “the rest” from God’s process during this earth age pursuant to God’s will for two reasons. [1] God knows they, being “the rest”, will not do God’s will. [2] To protect “the rest” from Matthew 12:32 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. In the parable of the seed sower God is the sower and God’s word is the seed. God temporarily bestows God’s Spirit unto all human beings [Greek noun 5485 charis]. Human beings who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways retain God’s Spirit and God leaves them to himself until they either fail God’s test or God executes the permanent endow of God’s Spirit unto them [Greek noun 5486 charisma]. Human beings who change God’s spiritual thoughts and ways in deference to their flesh thoughts and feelings are removed from God’s process and God’s spirit is removed from them during this earth age to protect them from Matthew 12:32 whereby God’s “seven thousand” “election” can cause them “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” during the “thousand years” that will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.
