‏ Proverbs 8:23-26

v. 23: “I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was” . Christ was chosen and established in God’s plan for eternity, long before the earth existed. He was always meant to be the Saviour and Mediator.

v. 24–25: “When there were no depths, I was brought forth… Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth” (Proverbs 8:24–25 a). Christ existed before the oceans, mountains, or any part of creation. He is not made from the earth; He came before all things (John 3:31; Genesis 1:2 b; Job 15:7 c).

v. 26: “While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world” . Before God made the land or even the first dust that would form Adam, Christ was already there. He is the source of life for mankind (Genesis 2:7 d).
