Does the semantic range of KTIZW really support EX NIHILO type creation?

COL 1:16  OTI EN AUTW EKTISQH TA PANTA EN TOIS OURANOIS KAI EPI THS
GHS TA ORATA KAI TA AORATA EITE QRONOI EITE KURIOTHTES EITE ARCAI EITE
EXOUSIAI TA PANTA DI AUTOU KAI EIS AUTON EKTISTAI

The actual general usage of the word, as well as this specific
context, seem to relate more to "setting up a government."

"that by his agency [the god] founded everything, in the sky and on
the dry land, both seen and unseen, be they thrones, be they
lordships, be they rulerships, be they positions of authority -
everything through and for him is founded."
