ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

    Not only does the whole creation groan, but we also within our spirit, as we await the future manifestation as the sons of God living on this earth put back to its original formation, and with our LORD living here on that earth with us.

 

 Rev.21 Read All. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth...

 

That part of the "adoption" and "redemption" Paul speaks of is about God's Plan of Salvation. God's Salvation Plan is not just a spiritual wanting without real substance; it will be a reality on a Perfect earth.
Rom 8:24. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25: But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

    In these things Paul described here, that is part of our hope in Salvation, for it is promised by God for those who believe on Him through His Son. Today's state of corruption and bondage of the creation is not what we hope for; because we can see the state of vanity it's in today, along with how we have to live in this flesh time also. Paul is clear that our hope is in a future condition that we cannot see yet. And by this, he gives us to ponder when it was in that time 'of old' that God's whole creation was originally in a perfect state.

 With that, Paul is talking about a first earth age, a time before Satan rebelled, which caused God to place this second earth age of today into a state of corruption.
     The next Letter on Genesis is going to be an eye-opener for many, so stick around. We're going to learn that human females were created on God's 'sixth day' also.

Peace be with you in Christ,
