Ok, which is it? Did God create Jesus in ancient times as in the niv?
Or is it that Jesus is God from everlasting as in the KJB?
What you need is an interlinear bible and a concordance to determine what this passage means…

So, what this is saying is that Jesus the Christ will come forth for God from Judah, will rule over Israel, and that His origins are aforetime for ever and ever.
This proves the deity of Jesus and that He is 100 percent God and 100 percent man.
