Jesus the Eternal Son

All things were created by "him" (Col.1:16). Who is "him"? The dear Son of God (verse 13).

What is included in "all" things? Things in the physical universe only? Things that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers - including the angels. Literally all things were created by him (verse 16). All means all and that's all all means. Therefore Jesus was not a created angel.

For whom were all things made? For him - that is, for the Son (verse 16). Therefore the Son is greater than the angels, for all things were not made for the angels, but for God. Therefore the Son is God.

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist (verse 17). Jesus the Son pre-existed everything.
