  Nature plays an important role in Jewish apocalypses. Although Romans 8:19-22 was not written in the genre of an apocalypse, it shares the basic apocalyptic worldview. 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.
