Charles:

I am somewhat confused by your statement... "So it
refers to the first creation or the one who begins
creation."

With regard to your statement, are you saying that
this phrase refers to the very first creative acts
which started the creation events? (Which of course
would imply that this individual was prior to the
first creation.)

I really only mean to ask your understanding of the
phrase semantically.
