Patrick,
You said:

So who is the He/he/him?

If we say Jesus Christ, this seems to contradict what Cheryl has said regarding the pre-incarnate Word (who cannot be called ‘the Christ’ and therefore cannot be the one who sustains the world and made it according to this text). If we say Word, it contradicts Cheryl because the head of the Church is the incarnate God/man who is obviously called ‘Jesus Christ’.

Let’s cut to the quick. What Scripture ever calls the pre-incarnate Word the Christ except in future prophecy? If I am wrong, prove me wrong by showing just one Scripture that lists the LORD of hosts in eternity past as existing as the Christ in eternity past. Once I see your proof, we should be able to discuss your points. If you have no Scripture, then perhaps you can explain how the term “Christ” can be given to God in eternity past as His name.
