You are right Melodious Musician.
It was a part of Him.
Another interesting tidbit of information I would like to share is when Yeshua said I am the Aleph and the Tov.
If you look at the very beginning verse in Gen 1:1 you see the Aleph and Tov together. In Hebrew it's called Eth or a direct object pointer. Meaning this.
In the beginning G-d created ->by Yeshua -> the Heaven's and the Earth.
I believe John had this revelation and thus mentioned in verse 3.
Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
