ANSWER: In John 1:1-5, “The Word” refers to Jesus Christ, not the “words” by which the worlds were created. Certainly the worlds were spoken into existence (Psalms 33:9) and the fact of Christ’s participation in the creation is clearly without doubt (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17). Based on these passages then, the words by which the worlds were made were those commandments “spoken” by God ordering all creation into existence! “The Word” spoken of in John 1:1 (Jesus Christ, God the Son) was not “made,” since His “goings forth have been from old, from everlasting” (Micah 5:2). He is eternal, “having neither beginning of days, nor end of life” (Hebrews 7:17; Hebrews 7:3).
