ParticipantQuote (Ambassador of Christ @ May 18 2002,02:05) 1) Hebrews 1:10 “YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;
—According to verse 8, this is talking about the Son of God, not the Father. This verse tells us that Jesus Christ was not only pre-existent to his humanity on earth, but that He existed in the beginning even before creation and that by His hands He created the heavens and the earth. According to Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This verse tells us that the only thing in existence in the beginning was God, and that God created the heavens and the earth. According to Genesis 1:1 we find that God was the only one in the beginning that that He created the heavens and the earth. According to Hebrews 1:10 we find that Jesus Christ was in the beginning and created the heavens and the earth. If Jesus Christ is not God, then these two verses contradict each other. The only way Hebrews 1:10 is true is if Jesus Christ is in fact God.2)
Remember that Jesus is the son of God. God is preeminent. Jesus is the beginning and the ending.The word “In” in the phrase “In the beginning …” means “inside”, “within”. “In the beginning” is not an historical phrase. All things are “in” Christ — “within” Christ. Christ is “all in all” save for the Father.
Christ is the Light of the world (kosmos).
Very important: Isa.45:7 — I form (yatsar: squeezing into shape) the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
God formed the Light of the world.
