Wisdom Before All Creation
This verse powerfully affirms that Wisdom (understood by commentators as Christ) existed before any aspect of the physical world. Scholars like John Gill highlight that before the earth, fields, or even the most basic elements existed, Christ was already present with God. This establishes His eternal nature and His supreme status over all creation.
