All of creation waiting on this:

Romans 8:19: [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

“In your Bible, the word creature, in this passage as in II Corinthians 5:17, is a reference to creation around us, not just critters running around.

II Corinthians 5:17: [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

“The idea there in verse 19 is it’s like a kid with his head stuck out the window looking for his daddy to come home. He’s eagerly anticipating. The earnest expectation, the eager anticipation of the creature, waits for the manifestation for the Sons of God," 
explains Richard Jordan.

“In other words, creation out here is waiting for the time when we’re put in the heavenly positions up there and the Lord Jesus Christ comes back to earth, sets up the kingdom and the whole shooting match is brought under the headship of Jesus Christ and is liberated.

“The globe out here, the whole universe, is waiting for the time when the Lord Jesus Christ comes back and takes up His inheritance.

“God’s got something He’s doing and you know He’s not worried whether it’s going to come out okay or not. He knows it is. He just relaxes and says, ‘I know the end of the story, bud.’ He’s got confidence in His plan, in His Word, in Himself. He can take that confidence He has in His own self and put it in you.

“The peace of God is that attitude from God that is absolutely confident that what He's doing will work. He said, 'I'll put that in your heart and that will be what will tranquilize your anxieties.’

“ ‘Why? Because you talked to me about the details of your life in light of my Word, and took my Word and focused it on the problems and made your supplications, your petitions to me about what's going on, and what my Word said about how to apply it. Then you took it and made the application, and by faith stood on my Word in your life, and my Word became the issue right down to the details and that meant you have my attitude about it.' "
