CREATION, INITIALLY PERFECT

John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Yahweh, and the Word was Yahweh.”  The Greek word for “was” is “G2258” in Strong’s Concordance and is pronounced “ēn” and one of the Strong’s meanings is “agree”.  The Word, i.e., the future Messiah (Son), future resurrected Messiah (Yahweh Shua), was in full agreement with the Father, Yahweh.  In verse 2, all things were made by the Son following the plan of the Father.

Colossians 1:15-17, “Who is the image of the invisible Father, 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.  The word “image” in Greek, “G1504” “eikōn” means in Strong’s likeness or profile and representation, a statue i.e., a copy.  Thus, the Son is a copy or likeness of the Father and followed the Father’s plan and created all things, both seen and unseen.  He is before all things and actually holds everything up.  In verse 15:  Where it says He is the firstborn of every creature, it means our Creator is the first one to be born, humanly die, and then be resurrected and placed into a spiritual body. Following that, the next humans to be placed in spiritual bodies will be at the Seventh Trump when He returns (roughly 2000 years since he was here last).  At the same time, the saints (144,000) will be placed into spiritual bodies (Rev 7:1-8, 1 Cor 15:52).

Again, in Hebrews, we see a third witness to the Son creating the world.  Hebrews 1: 1-4, “The Father who have in these last days spoken to us by His Son whom He had appointed heir of all things by whom also He made the worlds.[The Son created the seen and unseen world following the plan of the Father]  He being the brightness of His glory and express image of His person and upholding all things by the word of His power when He had by Himself purged our sins sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High, being made so much better than the angels as He hast by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”  Made better than angels, the word made is in the Greek, G1096, became or become. In other words, when our Creator suffered and was resurrected, He was perfected and obtained a more excellent name than any of the angels.

Psalms 148:13 tells us that Yahweh’s name alone is excellent.  Philippians 2:9 says that the Son was exalted (resurrected) and was given a name above all names (currently Yahweh Shua).  In Philippians 2:10 “that at the name of Yahweh Shua every knee should bow of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth”, and verse 11, “every tongue shall confess that the resurrected son, Yahweh Shua, the resurrected Messiah, is the master to the glory of Yahweh the Father”.

It is clear our Creator (future Messiah) made the seen and unseen world and created everything at the direction of the Father.  From John 1:18, “no man has seen the Father at any time, only the begotten Son.”  The Greek word for “man”, “G3762”, “Oudeis” is in the Strong’s Concordance. Not even one man, woman, or thing” thus no one has ever seen Father Yahweh, except His Son, our Creator, Yahweh Shua.  The only two beings to live (awake) forever eternally are the Father and Son.  Thus, from John 1:18, we can see that when Yahweh Shua, the Son, i.e., the Word, created the seen and unseen world, they only saw the Son.  When all the angels were created, they were dealing with the Son.  When Moses talked to Yahweh at the “the Burning Bush” he was speaking with the Son.  When Melchizedek met Abraham, Abraham was talking to the Son. When Israel followed the cloud and pillar of fire, they followed the Rock, the Messiah, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:4 “For they drank the same spiritual rock; and that rock was Messiah”. Thus, the Son has been carrying out the plan of the Father for all times from the very beginning to the end, that is why He is called the Alpha and the Omega.

Thus, our Creator formed everything at the direction of the Father.  Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “Our Creator made everything beautiful.”  Isaiah 45:18, says “Our Creator formed the earth to be inhabited (beautiful with plants and everything to sustain physical life).  However, when we look at Genesis 1:2, King James Version, it says the earth was without form, and void; it sounds like it was made terribly but if we look up the word for was, the Hebrew word 1961 in Strong’s is became, so the earth became void, and if you read Psalms 104:30, it says “that our Creator renewed the face of the earth.”  When we look at Genesis 3:1, we see that the adversary i.e., who was once the head angel but had already fallen and was described after he had fallen as one of the most subtle of any beast, i.e., of any creation and went about to deceive Eve.

So, if the adversary, i.e., initially Lucifer had already fallen, i.e., become Satan in Genesis, it must mean that the Creator created the angels, a very long time before He created the earth and created man in his image.  It is not known how long ago the angels were created.  Ezekiel 28:12 and 15 gives us a hint about the adversary.  Ezekiel 28:12-15:  Continuing at the end of verse 13, “the workmanship of thy tabrets and of pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.” And in verse 14, “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon set apart the holy mountain of Elohim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire”. And in verse 15, “Thou wast perfected in all thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till sin was found in thee.”  Thus, it sounds like the adversary initially was perfect and in fact, he was the Head Angel overseeing the spiritual ark in heaven.  The physical ark of the Old Testament was a representation or a copy of the spiritual in heaven.  Thus, Lucifer was at one time, the Head Angel.  Of course, our Creator and His Father, Yahweh, planned all this and already knew that He was going to fall and now how the process of overcoming the adversary allows the Messiah to grow in us.  That is why Paul said as in Galatians 4:19 “My little children of whom I travail in birth again until Messiah be formed in you". Repenting and overcoming is mentioned to the assemblies being perfected in Revelation Ch 1-3.  Thus, the adversary, the Head Angel who failed in the past is the one we have to overcome in this life if we ever want a chance to be in the Kingdom or Yahweh family.  Isaiah 14: 12-15 confirms Ezekiel that the adversary was initially the Head Angel Lucifer and had a great fall.  “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El (Creator); I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the North, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most  High. Yet Thou shall be brought down to Hell”.  Thus, the adversary was initially created by our Creator long before the earth was and He was the sum total of perfection, He was a covering angel over the spiritual ark and over other angels.  Our Father and our Creator, His Son, knew that he would have to fall, and it was a part of their great plan to create their future kingdom, family, saints and the innumerable multitude and was planned before anything was created from the foundations of the world. Remember, nothing in all creation (including the adversary) can separate us from the love of Yahweh the Father through his Son Yahweh Shua (Rom 8:31-39).

Father Yahweh, through His Son, the resurrected Messiah, Yahweh Shua, have a great plan and nothing has been left to chance.  They have planned everything from the beginning to the end.  If you find this article interesting, please consider reading all the other articles on this website and taking the first step.
