Is John alone in this perception that the Word, Yeshua, is the Creator of all things, upon whom all things depend for their existence? The answer is clearly, "No." John is not alone in this perception of Yeshua. Paul taught that Yeshua was the Creator:

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Yeshua the Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. 1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB

For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16 NASB

He created all things; all creation is designed for Him, in Him, and creation is preserved by Him. In the phrase, "All things have been created 'through' Him", He is the instrument of creation. Yeshua is the agent whereby the universe was created. He is the Creator. Finally, creation is designed "for Him." This is a term of purpose. Creation is designed for the glory of Christ. He is the goal of creation. Christ is glorified in creation. Christ not only created all things, but all things continue to subsist because of Him:

He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17 NASB
