For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.
Romans 8:22 ESV
The Bible often treats Creation as if it is a living, willful thing. In Deuteronomy 4:26, Moses called on heaven and earth to witness against Israel if they betray God’s covenant. In Mark 16:15, Yeshua told his disciples to preach the gospel to the whole creation, not just to Israel or the nations. In Luke 19:40, he told the Pharisees that even the rocks would cry out if the people of Jerusalem didn’t praise him.
If Creation knows God’s Law, knows man’s place in God’s order, and recognizes the Messiah, then we shouldn’t be surprised to learn that Creation also longs to be free from the curse to which Adam subjected it.
