Named VLASS J041009.05-013919.88, this object is the most distant blazar ever identified.....VLASS J041009.05-013919.88 (J0410-0139 for short) is powered by a black hole with a mass of 700 million solar masses.
Multi-wavelength observations show that its radio variability, compact structure, and X-ray properties identify it as a blazar with a jet aligned toward Earth.
“The fact that J0410–0139 is a blazar, a jet that by chance happens to point directly towards Earth, has immediate statistical implications,” said Dr. Eduardo Bañados, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy.
(a) This discovery raises questions about how supermassive black holes grow so rapidly in the Universe’s infancy.
Models may need to account for jet-enhanced accretion or obscured, super-Eddington growth to reconcile this finding with the known black hole population at such high redshifts.
(b) “The alignment of J0410-0139’s jet with our line of sight allows astronomers to peer directly into the heart of this cosmic powerhouse.” SciNews

a- Well maybe they didn't "grow rapidly" over eons but rather were Created as is for this purpose.
b- A Created "powerhouse" -- a cosmic battery for our world.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11:3
