Is Jesus the first creative work of God according to Revelation 3:14?

The Book of Revelation narrates of a story where an angel is ordered to write down the words of Jesus and Jesus here is referred to us the **Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation**. **Revelation 3:14** >“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. What **exactly** is the meaning of **beginning of God's creation**? Was Jesus the first act of creation? Does it mean that God decided to have a Son **first** before he created any other thing? And is that why Jesus is said to have been **begotten**?
