Everything is of the only true God (John 17:1,3) through the one whom the only true God has made lord. (Acts 2:36; 1 Corinthians 8:6) Nothing in this means that the Logos is the Supreme Being who is the source of all. All forms of the Greek word pas always look to the context and common evidence for what is included or not included in the all that is being spoken of. The King James Version renders panta in John 1:7, not as all things as it does in John 1:3, but as all men. Indeed, contextually, John 1:10 shows that panta in John 1:3 is referring, not to absolutely all things in the universe, but to the world of mankind into which the Logos came. That world did not recognize who Jesus was, thus it does not include Gods creation in the spririt realm, for we read that even the demons recognized who Jesus was. The angel of Yahweh did not declare Jesus to be the Most High, but rather the Son of the Most High. (Luke 1:32,35) Likewise, the demons did not recognize him as being God Almighty, but as the son of the Most High. -- Mark 5:7; Luke 8:28. biblestudytools/lexicons/greek/kjv/pas.html The word things is added by translators. The same word is used in John 1:7; in that verse, the King James translators did not add the word things, but instead they added the word men. Indeed, the all of which none was made without Jesus is the world of mankind, as evidenced by John 1:10. Not one of this creation was made without Jesus. Heavens, earth, do not always mean the same thing. Isaiah 44:24 is evidently speaking of actual creation of the universe and the earth in that universe, before the beginning and all that is spoken of in John 1:1-3.
