Was Creation Made Through Yeishua or For Yeishua?

Did Yeishua personally create the heavens and the earth, or was creation made with Mashiach as its appointed goal? This study examines Colossians 1, Hebrews 1, John 1, Second Temple Jewish concepts of preexistence, and the writings of Voy Wilks to distinguish between creation being “through” Yeishua and “for” Yeishua. It argues that The Almighty remains the ultimate Creator and source of all things, while Yeishua is His appointed Messiah, heir, agent, and the one toward whom the purpose of creation moves.
