In the Beginning Was the Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with G-d, and the Word was G-d; He was with G-d in the beginning. All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing made had being" - Yochanan 1:1-4

This thought and concept that Yochanan writes about is not of his own thinking or of his own revelation; but of G-d's. In the first verses of Torah, we read; "In the beginning G-d..." It was G-d who created this earth and the universe in which we live. And upon this earth the L-rd G-d put all things living including us who were made in His image.

We were not made after His own kind; we are not god-kind (as some teach), but we would be upon this earth as His representatives to care for and till this land. And He would walk among us. Yet..., how would He walk among us, if G-d is holy and not any man can see G-d and live (Ex 33:20)? So how would this holy G-d walk among His creation?

"The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of G-d hovered over the surface of the water" - Bereshiyt 1:2. In this verse we find the answer as to how G-d would walk among us, yet apart from us..., Mashiach! The Spirit of G-d that hovered upon the deep was the Spirit of Mashiach (Midrash Rabbah)! And through Mashiach G-d said, "Let there be light and there was light..." - Bereshiyt 1:3.

All would be created through Him, and all would be created for Him. Through Mashiach G-d would walk among His creation and His creation (man) would hear His voice. And Mashiach would be the only way to G-d..., there would be no other way to hear the voice of G-d except through Mashiach. And ultimately there would be no other way for redemption except through Mashiach.

"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him" - Colossians 1:16

"I am the way the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" - Yeshua HaMashiach (Yochanan 14:6).
