Samples of words whose true biblical meaning has so often be misunderstood pertaining to animals.

When I started the journey through the Bible to discover more scriptures revealing that animals went to heaven I discovered so many words whose meaning has been lost. I found soul has become "living being" in some instances, perish means "forgotten" not annihilated as so often we believe. Subdue means "to keep" and dominion means "to be care takers of". When referring to redeem we usually associate with man and not animals but the word redeem means "to right a wrong, to take back to buy back or pay for, to recover, to make amends for" and on and on. The closest word I believe for redeem for animals is to "restore". To redeem for man is to pay a price for/ Jesus paid that price on the cross for our salvation. He also died on the cross to restore creation. We tend to minimize the total price Jesus paid on the cross. Very seldom do we understand that his sacrifice was important to the non-human creation as well.

For (even the whole) creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known-waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship. For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty-to futility, condemned to frustration-not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it. [Yet] with the hope (Romans 8:19-20 AMP)(see Ecclesiastes 1:2).

The nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God’s children. We know that the whole creation (of irrational creatures) has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now (Romans 8:21-22 AMP See Jeremiah 121:4,11)
