Does the “until now” in Romans 8:22 mean that the creation's groans have ended?
Upvote:7
There is no difference in meaning whatsoever between the two translations of that verse: "the present time" means exactly the same as "until now". The verse following shows that Christians (who are part of "all creation") will continue to groan until they are released from their physical bodies in death, and that the final end of such groaning will happen to all creation after the Day of Resurrection and Judgment.
Then the old earth, and heaven, will have been 'removed' and replaced with "a new heaven and a new earth, in which righteousness will dwell" (2 Peter 3:10-13).
The last book in the Bible, Revelation, confirms this, showing that increasing tribulation will build up until the Last Trump. See chapter 20, verses 11-15 and chapter 21, verse 1 and chapter 22 verses 1 to 6 (noticing that that is when 'the curse' is removed.)
