1/25/25 The Divine Creator
Paul in his letter to Church of Colossae has given the divine order. Seed time harvest and equipped with Divine knowledge gives you the means to be patient. This is the Greek word epignosis All of this stems from the Divine trait, peace. Paul in the opening offers them grace and peace. Peace is a tricky subject. Many of us believe peace is the absence of drama, trauma, stress & injustice. Peace plays itself out even in those four showing their ugly heads, but peace is misunderstood. Some of us are wise enough to know that peace on earth does not happen through a political savior, does not happen through technology or in the size of our bank accounts. You cannot buy peace, and peace in our minds is only obtainable when we die IF we go to heaven. Let’s examine that, why is heaven so peaceful? The idea of heaven is none of the four exist. The word tells us that we will not feel pain, will not cry or mourn anymore and that injustice will be nonexistent. We deem this possible because of being with God. In the presence of God who never stresses who never is effected by drama, is never traumatized and is justice because he is a Spirit who thrives in love and had a plan for us. PRAY
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
The Son of God. Let’s talk Messiah here Jesus -Yeshua. For the atheist out there who say there is no proof of God. Look to the Messiah and you see God. He is God in the flesh He is not of the world but in the world. Do not believe in Jesus, then you deny science. Remember trust the science? Jesus existed acknowledged by history, science, & archaeology. To deny Jesus is to deny science. Do they still deny Jesus is God after coming to grips that Yeshua is a real person?

16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
Creation came out of him, but this is not to say he birthed it like a child, and it is a part of him and that creation can claim a portion of divinity simply by being. The definition of Gods traits exemplifies his measure of control. He says what is holy. It is not holy unless he who is holy deems it as holy. This is not limited to the known world but also the unseen the unseeable. Notice the following hierarchical line up. This is not limited to the president down to community leaders, no this is the very offices of spiritual control & structure Paul declares that not only did Yeshua create it, but he made it for himself. His possession, for his purpose not the purposes of thrones, powers, rulers or authorities. These are the spiritual offices referenced in Ephesians 6 that were created by God, but some of them went astray and who we wrestle against rather than mankind. It was created for him, for his purpose. But Paul is not the only to declare this.
John 1:1-3 In the beginning there was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 All things were made by him, and nothing was made without him.
John the disciple Jesus loved declares it. John the disciple who saw the return of Yeshua to earth resurrected to take the throne while given the vision of the book of Revelation. He too declares that all of creation belongs to Jesus for the purpose of Jesus. Guess what Paul and John are not the only to declare this.
Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. 2 The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit was moving over the water. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Moses declares that Elohim was the creator. Some are not familiar with Elohim, the Hebraic name of God in your Bible. This is the maner by which he introduces himself, hello I am Creator God! I operate outside of time-space-matter because I am the one in which those 3 came. I created the limitations of this material, and the limitations of the spiritual. The invisible spiritual realm Eph 2:2, 6:12, Rev 12:7 and Paul proclaims regarding time & matter.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Without beginning without end. Eternal His dominion power authority by his word keeps the universe from collapsing unto itself. What suspends the planets, rotates them, spins them in the orbit of the sun? It is not what it is who. Without the command spoken it all falls apart.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Spiritual entity manifests in the physical. A creation that he is head of the table & of, the operations should all run through him. Repeated 1 Cor 11:3 Eph 1:22, 4:15. Mark 12:10 makes a prediction. Preeminence means he is first in all things.
