Jesus is the Word and Creator of the World

Jesus is the Word, the Word is God, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1). The apostle John is echoing Genesis to reveal something lost to the Jews, "And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light." (Genesis 1:3). In the Septuagint translation of this verse it reads, "And God's Word said, "Let there be Light, and there was light." (The Orthodox Study Bible). The apostle is revealing to us that Jesus is there in Genesis, That he is the Word of God (John 1:1, John 1:14) and the Light (John 3:19, John 8:12, John 12:46). There at beginning, Jesus who is the Word brought forth light to the universe. All light stems from Christ, this is why it is written, "The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp." (Revelation 21:23). Jesus is the Lamp and the Word of God. Now the Father did not speak the Word into existence, nor created the Light, for the Word has always existed, "He was begotten not made," (Nicene Creed). Just as Spirit which is holy Spirit hovered over the waters, the Word and the Light of God who is God was there.


Now the world was created through the Word of God, "He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him." (John 1:10). The World received its existence through Word of God, for as Father spoke, the Word who is Jesus created the Sky (Genesis 1:14), Sea (Genesis 1:2, Genesis 1:21), Land (Genesis 1:1), Animals (Genesis 1:25), and Mankind (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:1, Genesis 2:22). The Hebrew translation of the Old Testament used in most Bibles today is from the twelfth century and it fails to reveal that Jesus is creator with the Father and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2) because the translators were Jews who were trying to remove evidence of Jesus being the Messiah and One with Father. This 12 century Hebrew translation is against the messiah, oppose to the accurate Septuigint of the 60 B.C. which contains this revelation that the Father speaks and Jesus does the creating, this is why Jesus incarnate says, "Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." (John 5:19), and "So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me." (John 8:28). Notice in that last verse that Son does not speak except what Father has taught Him, this applies back to Genesis when it says, "God said, "let there be Light." Jesus is this said and is living Word of God because, "I and the Father are one; Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 10:30, John 14:9). Jesus is One with Father, and so when Father Said, "Let there be Light," Jesus is that Light that comes forth from the Father to illuminate all that is darkness both literally and figuratively.

The world was made through Christ Jesus, "He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him." (John 1:10). As aforementioned when Father spoke, Jesus who is the Word and that very spoke or said, did create. But after Adam nad Eve sinned, the world fell into entropy and enmity with Its creator Emmanuel. Thus Jesus says of the world, "Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out." (John 12:32). We see a shift, since the wolrd has become sinful and will not recognize its creator who is the Christ, this is whast Jesus does, "If  you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." (John 15:19).  Jesus created the world (John 1:10) but the world has turned from Him and so He must pull us believers out of it and destroy it, "The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small-- and for destroying those who destroy the earth," (Revelation 11:18) and "Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea." (Revelation 21:1). Jesus will judge those who destroyed his earth that he created and He will destroy the earth (it will pass away, Rev 21:1) and new earth will take its place. We thus see the full circle, Christ created this earth, shall destroy it, and create a new earth and new heaven.

The reason we are called to hate this world is that Christ was hated by this world, even though He created it! Behold His own words, "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil," (John 7:7), and "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." (John 15:18)/ The world that the Word of God who is Christ created with the Father and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1-5) is hated by the world because the Creator reveals to the Creation that it is sinful and wicked. Oh earth! What a ungreatful offspring! O Man that you made in image of God (Genesis 1:27) rejected the image from whence you were fashioned, formed, and molded! What horror that God must destroy His own creation because of its lack of penitence and because it seeks no pardon from Him! Woe unto you world! You who spin only because of Him! You shall one day stand still and be replaced by a New Globe that adores its Creator and makes It's Lamp the Lamb of God! (Revelation 21:23). But O blessed are you saints and believers who shall be spared and counted as God's creation! You shall dwell in the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem, for He that created all things says, "For God so loved the world (had mercy on man and this world) that he gave his only Begotten Son, and whosover believes in Him (Jesus) shall not perish but have eternal life," (John 3:16), "He who confesses with his mouth and believes in his heart that Jesus is Lord (Yahweh, God)," (Romans 10:9),  and "but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." (Matthew 24:13). We see in John 3:16, God's mercy on the world, though it does not deserve it. He could have consumed this planet and its inhabitans in fire, but instead He hung on cross to save the lost from damnation.

So you see, the reason the apostle John says, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them," (1 John 2:15) and "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." (James 4:4). The reason these two apostles are urging us away from world is because it does not recognize its Creator and Savior Jesus Christ, and so the world will pull you way from loving the True God. For the world hates Jesus because He reveals it is wicked, only those in this world who recognize they are wicked, repent, and love Jesus Christ will be saved, otherwise the world is going to perish, but those in the Word of God who is Jesus will have eternal life, "Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me." (John 6:53-57).

Behold, this is why we must hate, be at enmity with the world, and be hated by the world because the world hates Jesus who created it! It is the rebeliious planet, system, race of angels and race of men and women. Only men and women can be redeemed through faith, belief, trust, and loving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior! We hate the world because we love God, and the world hates God and so you can only serve one of two masters, this is what Jesus meant! "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Mammon (money)." (Matthew 6:24). Mammon is the god of money which is how world works, and so it could be retranslated, "You can only serve the Word (who is God John 1:1) or the world (Mammon) that rejects Him." At last it makes sense! The more we abide in Christ, love Him, know Him, and serve Him the more we hate this world because it hates Him already. But if we start to love the world, our love of God grows colder and this is why John and James are saying, "Do not love anything in world," (1 John 2:15) and "don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God." (James 4:4). But take heart, a new earth, a new world is going to be made that loves God and makes God its lamp! O glorious day when we shall be set free from this wicked world and set foot in the wonderious new world that loves its Creator! For while we suffer in this world that hates our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we long for the world to come that will love our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Addendum:

I want to clarify one more thing, that the Word of God in every book of the New Testament is Jesus, not Scripture. Paul clarifies is He is speaking of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16) or the Word who is Jesus (John 1:1). Here are two Bible verses that are misunderstood, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart," (Hebrews 4:12) and "Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Ephesians 6:17). The word of God in both these verses is not Scripture as it is often mistranslated, but Jesus Christ himself, how can I prove this, simple, "From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:15-16). The Hebrews and Ephesians verses about the Word of God being sharper than any two edged sword and sword of spirit being the Word of god is alluding to Revelation, and tell us that Jesus Christ is sharper than any two edged sword! Hence why Jesus says this, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW." (Matthew 10:34-35). This is why Hebrews it says Word of God "divides spirit and soul, joins and marrow," (Hebrews 4:17); this is because Jesus is the Sword of Spirit (Ephensians 6:17), and the sword proceeds from His mouth (Revelation 19:15). You see those verses in Hebrews and Ephensians are not about the Bible, but about Jesus Christ! He is the sword, the Word of God, that cuts through all matter.


Note:

The Septuagint (Greek) 60 B.C. is the accurate translation of the Old Testament, that has The Word of God, Jesus appearing all throughout the Old Testament. The Hebrew 1200 A.D. translation in most Bibles is inaccurate, because the Jews got rid of all allusions to Jesus because of their hurt over the Rhineland massacres by fanatical proto-Nazis called the German Crusaders under Count Emicho and other crazy German Knights during crusades. The Septuagint is free of any prejudices because it was prior to Christ's birth, death, and resurrection; and thus no one tried to cover up the prophecies of the messiah or preincarnate Christ.
