Day 12 — Colossians 1:16–17

Day 12

Colossians 1:16–17

For by Him All Things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

Jesus ישוע as He is presented in the Jewish Scriptures is attributed as the Creator of All Things (John 1:3, 1 Cor 8:6). It is through Him that the Godhead of Israel YHWH יהוה‎ brought Everything into Being. The verses above gives a list of what the Divine — Son has Made.

1.) Visible Things — The Material Realm -> This includes All Elementary Particles that make up the Physical World (both of Living Organisms and Non-Living Matter)

2.) Invisible Things — The Metaphysical Realm -> This includes All Laws governing the Abstract World (Laws of Mathematics, Aesthetics, Philosophy, etc.)

3.) Thrones, Dominions — This includes Overseeing Entities both in the Human Realm (Governments, Kingdoms) and the Spirit Realm (Divine Council, Angels, Sons of God, Watchers, etc.)

The last part of the verses speak of His Pre-Existence. Jesus ישוע has Always Been from Eternity past, before what we call the concept of Time even existed. Then at one point before Time, He decided to Begin all Time, Space and Matter, itself.

Micah 5:2 Speaks of the coming Messiah who will be born in Bethlehem whose goings forth are from Eternity :

Micah 5:2

“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of Eternity.”

And, John 8:58 Speaks of Jesus’ ישוע Pre-Existence before the Patriarchs of Israel, specifically Abraham אַבְרָהָם:

John 8:58

“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus ישוע answered, “Before Abraham אַבְרָהָם: was born, I AM (ego eimi ἐγὼ εἰμί)”

May the True Creator God, the God of Israel YHWH יהוה‎ be with you and bless you all today.
