Yep. He was before he came:
Everything that exists (other than him) came are through him. (1 Corinthians 8:6)
He was rich, before he was poor. (2 Corinthians 8:9)
Our place with God was secured in him (by him?) before the universe itself got rolling. (Ephesians 1:3-14)
He was equal to God, before he became a condemned Roman prisoner. (Philippians 2:5-11)
When everything began, he already was with God, and was God. (John 1:1-14)
