Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Nor is ours a merely isolated hope; we have our place--"Mid onward sloping motions infinite,Making for one sure goal."The whole creation is looking earnestly and intently for the same manifestation of glory as ourselves.Earnest expectation--A single word in the Greek, and a very striking one. It means, literally, a straining forward with outstretched head, just as we might imagine the crowds outside a race-course straining over the ropes to catch a sight of the runners; an eager, intent expectation. The same word is used once again in the New Testament (Philippians 1:20).Creature.--Creation, the whole world of nature, animate and inanimate.Waiteth for.--Another strong word, "waits with concentrated longing and expectancy."Manifestation.--Translate rather by the ordinary word, revelation, as in the last verse ("glory which shall be revealed"). The Parusia, or Coming of Christ, is to be accompanied by an appearance of the redeemed in glorified form.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekTheτῆς (tēs)Article - Genitive Feminine SingularStrong's 3588: The, the definite article.
