in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.I don't think of Jesus has having been appointed heir by God. That language feels wrong to me, because in our understanding it supposes that there was another choice to be made; could Jesus and the Spirit have traded places if they wanted to. It also implies that the Father would one day die, which is incorrect.
I also don't think of the Father having made the world through Jesus. I'm not sure what that means; did God need Jesus' future corporeal form to create corporeal matter? Or is Jesus somehow the conduit through which the Father must work, as if they had different abilities?
