Did Jesus Create the Universe?

Trinity Verses

Hebrews 1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”

I believe this translation is misleading. I could break down the Greek and show word by word how this is poorly translated, however here is one simple word to look at which shows the intent of the verse. The word cosmos consistently is used in Greek scripture to show the physical world/universe or metaphysical anti-godly human collective.

However, in Hebrews 1:2 the word translated “world” is αἰών - forever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity; the worlds, universe, period of time, age. Even the 38 times it is translated “world” its’ context is using it as a synonym for age.

For example:
Mathew 12:32
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.”

Hebrews 1:2 is stating that the Father “made” brought forth or birthed - ποιέω – our current church age, or eon, and our future age or ages, through Jesus. We are currently living in the “age to come” that Jesus prophesied. So you could say Jesus is the son, "by whom also (the Father) brought forth the age".

Also, relating back to the Hebrews passage, how could Jesus be “appointed” heir of all things if he himself made all things and they were already his? An heir receives that which belonged to someone else.
