[YTM] 3.0 Messiah was Involved in Creation

This may be surprising to some who are used to thinking of the Father alone as creator. But the Bible is con­sistent in naming Messiah as the Father’s agent in creation. [Genesis 1:26, Isaiah 45:12, Psalm 33:6, John 1:1-3,10, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:2; Hebrews 11: 3, 2 Peter 3:5, Revelation 4:11, and so on]. Hebrews 1:3 reveals that Messiah is fully God, “the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being”.

In Psalm 33:6 and John 1:1-3 we read that “all things” were created by Messiah. Psalm 33:6 says, “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth” and John 1:1-3 reveals, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” John 1:1 tells us that the Word was, is, and will always be God. God is self-existing, all knowing, and has created everything.

The scriptures teach us that the Word is Messiah, especially John 1:14, which says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us – and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” He is our God and created everything – created all that is in heaven and in the universe.

First Corinthians 8:6 is another important verse which reveals that Messiah did the exact same things that the Father did. God the Father created all things, and we live because of the Father. The apostle Paul also states that Messiah will maintain all things.

This reveals Messiah is also God and He created! 1 Corinthians 8:6 says, “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Yeshua the Messiah, by whom are all things, and we by him.”

Moreover, Colossians 1:15-17 help us understand that when He and the Father created, they created everything in heaven and earth. It says, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

Notice the word “all” is repeated. Now the word all includes everything imaginable. Messiah was before the beginning, that is, before everything, and He continues holding everything together. We are told that everything was created by Messiah. That means that Messiah was not created. He is not a created being; He is God!

In Hebrews 1:2 we notice that Yeshua the Messiah is referred, and we are told that the Father and Messiah created the heavens and the earth together. It says, “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” Moreover, Revelation 4:11 says about Yeshua the Messiah, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”

Thus, we come to know that Yeshua the Messiah created more than just the world. He created everything. He created everything in heaven and on earth and is our God, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, who also created everything. They created everything together.
