It is well-known that the Gospel of John begins with the following words: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The term “the Word” was translated from the Greek word Logos. However, the Hebrew word is Dabar and has three main meanings: to speak, to command, to report. So, in the beginning was the One Who spoke and it was done; He commanded and it stood fast. Thereupon, the report of the creation could be written.

Consequently, the following Scriptures always refer to the one and only Creator that there is; He is the Word, the One Who speaks, and the One Who acts –He is all in all.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1).

“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.” (Ps. 33:6).

“For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.” (Ps. 33:9).

“Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.” (Ps. 102:25).

“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (Jn. 1:3).

“And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands …” (Heb. 1:10).

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Rev. 4:11).

The word Dabar, which was translated as Logos, is the Lord Himself Who became flesh and dwelt among us. Amen.
