Beginning of the Creation

Genesis opens "In the beginning Elohim created" (Gen 1:1), and the Prophets announce a second beginning: "behold, I create new heavens and a new earth" (Isa 65:17; 66:22). Rev 3:14 calls Yahushua "the beginning of the creation of Elohim," a title that points not back to Genesis but forward to the new creation begun at His resurrection, matching "the beginning, the firstborn from the dead" (Col 1:18). The Trinitarian reading makes "beginning" mean the uncreated source of Genesis 1, yet the creation is called "of Elohim," and Yahuah says He made all things "alone" and "by myself" (Isa 44:24). The Son is head of the restored creation, not its co-Creator.
