Nature plays an important and often neglected role in Jewish
apocalypses. Most Second Temple Jewish apocalypses (ca. 200 BC - AD
100) do not oppose the material world, but view nature as damaged
by human and angelic sin. Rather than expecting God to destroy the
world, many look forward to God's dramatic eschatological
deliverance of nature from corruption. Although Romans 8:19-22 was
not written in the genre of an apocalypse, it shares the basic
apocalyptic world view. The Apostle Paul follows that stream of
apocalyptic thought that looks forward to the transformation of
creation by an eschatological divine act, the reversal of the
damage caused by sin, and the perfection of nature to share glory
with redeemed humanity. A comparison of nature in Jewish
apocalypses and Romans 8:19-22 reveals important insights into the
theology of early Judaism and its influence on early Christian
thought.
