Die Dag (1,000 jaar) van Christus – Deel 4 Rom 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed(G601) in us. Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature eagerly waits for the manifestation / revealing(G602) of the sons(G207) of God. Rom 8:20 For the creature was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; Rom 8:21 because the creature itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Rom 8:23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption(G5206), the redemption(G629) of our body.

And again: "I WILL BE TO HIM A FATHER, AND HE SHALL BE TO ME A SON"? Heb 1:6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world(How? Not a one but a kind), He says: "LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP(serve) HIM." Heb 1:7 And of the angels He says: "WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS SPIRITS AND HIS MINISTERS (especially of those who execute the commands of others) A FLAME OF FIRE." (2 Pe.3:10 – 13) 2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord(Sons) will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 2Pe 3:11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 2Pe 3:12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister(especially of those who execute the commands of others) for those who will inherit salvation? Heb 2:1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, Heb 2:3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, Heb 2:4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

Heb 2:6 But one testified in a certain place, saying: "WHAT IS MAN THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM, OR THE SON OF MAN THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF HIM? Heb 2:7 YOU HAVE MADE HIM(Jesus) A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS; YOU HAVE CROWNED HIM(The Sonship) WITH GLORY(Father’s Opinion, Judgement and View) AND HONOR(G5092), AND SET HIM OVER THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS.

He has given assurance of this to all by raising(G450) Him(Them) from the dead." Col 1:15 He(Son/Uihos) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Col 1:16 For by Him all things were created(G2936) that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
