God created all things by Himself?
It is often claimed that Bible says that God alone created all things. It is true that the God and Father of Jesus (Ephesians 1:3) alone is spoken of in the Bible as the Creator; the claim is evidently made to make it appear that Jesus is God, since it is claimed that there was no one but when "God" is thought to have created all things, and thus that God did not create anything through or by means of anyone else who is not Himself. The scripture often used to support the idea is:
So says Jehovah, your Redeemer and your Former from the womb; I am Jehovah who makes all things; stretching out the heavens, I alone spreading out the heavens. Who was with Me, frustrating the signs of liars; yea, He makes divining ones mad, turning wise ones backward, and making their knowledge foolish. - Isaiah 44:24-25, Green's Literal.
This scripture does not say that God alone created all things by Himself. It does indicate he was alone in the spreading out of the heavens. Some claim that this verse is referring to the whole universe, including the creation of the angels, the invisible, heavenly, spirit creatures. (Colossians 1:16) The base meaning the word "universe", however, would included absolutely everything that exists, including Jehovah Himself. The word "things" is added by translators, and is not inherit in the Hebrew word often transliterated as KOL. (Strong's Hebrew #3605)

Obviously, the all that is being spoken of in Isaiah 24:44 does not include Jehovah Himself. This could possibly be referring to what many scientists call the "big bang", the creation of the material universe itself. It is obvious that it KOL is referring to the whole that is being referring to. If so, this would indicate that this happened before the the creation of the firstborn Son, before the creation of the spirit sons of God (Job 38:7), and before the beginning of the world of mankind spoken of in Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1.
Nevertheless, it is still possible that Jehovah, in saying he alone spread the heavens, meant that none of the idol gods of the heathen were there with him.
For more concerning this, see my study related to Isaiah 44:24:
