'Creation' in the Bible

For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse.

For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the Creation fell into subjection to failure and unreality (not of its own choice, but by the will of Him who so subjected it)

Yet there was always the hope that at last the Creation itself would also be set free from the thraldom of decay so as to enjoy the liberty that will attend the glory of the children of God.

For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.
