Knowledge of Creation

 In Revelation the claim is made that Jesus was given visions by the Father to pass on to his disciples, hence how the book of Revelation was made. This implies Jesus on his own does not have huge knowledge, such as one might have who made all things. He needs the Father to show him things that he can then pass on as revelations to his disciples through the Holy Spirit’s activities, manifestations and charismatic gifts. In 1 John the writer tells disciples that they do not need anyone to teach them because the anointing (Holy Spirit activities, manifestations and gifts) teaches them all things. Clearly this “all things” is not literal. It clearly means all things pertaining to salvation and a godly life. So knowhow that a Creator would have, though clearly present with God the Father, perhaps to some extent among angels responsible for creation governance, perhaps on a need to know basis according to tasks and responsibilities, there is no evidence of the Son having it too. This implies any ways the Son or his name and character and righteous achievements were an influence or driving force or motivation in the original work of Creation and subsequence governing of Nature and its order, these involvements did not include anything which would equip the Son with direct personal knowledge of Creation but rather his knowledge and wisdom were given to him while he was alive and was “growing in wisdom and stature”.
