“For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God;…the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God” Romans 8:19, 21 (NRSV).  Let us not forget that Christ is going to redeem all of creation from decay and bring it to the freedom and glory given to the children of God.  He will take back His good creation from all the forces of evil and darkness.

“But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:13 (NASB)
