...Christ is not merely the beginning of creation in a temporal sense, but that as pilot and ruler he accompanies creation-or rather takes it along with him. He is not the deists' "beginning" who left creation to its own devises; he is rather the helmsman of creation, which is why everything can be brought together in him(Eph. 1:10). Adrio Konig, The Eclipse of Christ in Eschatology, p. 24
