Who is the real Jesus? Εν αρχή ην ο λόγος, "In the beginning was the Word"[1] that word was made flesh and according to many Jews at that time He was considered to be the Messiah (Maschiach in Hebrew) = the Anointed One, the Chosen One = the Christ, χρίσμα in Greek or ΙησουΣ ΧριστοΣ, which is Greek for Jesus the Christ or Yeshua the Anointed One. Philo of Alexandria seems to be the first to associate the phrase "ο λόγος"(The logos) which could be translated the reason or in Hebrew might appear as Wisdom (ChetKafMemHey חָכְמָה). We see this in Jeremiah 10:12 and Jeremiah 51:15 as בְּחָכְמָת֑וֹ bə-ḥā-ḵə-mā-ṯōw or “by His Wisdom” "and at His discretion" or "by His understanding" וּבִתְבוּנָת֖וֹ ū-ḇiṯ-ḇū-nā-ṯōw "has stretched out" or "has extended the heavens" from what we call the spiritual realms. Using this "wisdom" God brings forth creation in Psalms 104:24 and 30.

The Book of Wisdom, or the Wisdom of Solomon, is a Jewish work written in Greek and most likely composed in Alexandria, Egypt. - Wisdom - Σοφία or Sophia - is part of the Wisdom Literature in the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate Old Testaments of the Bible.


The author is unknown but the Book was written in Greek during Second-Temple Judaism in Alexandria, Egypt in the first century before Christ.

The original text of the Book of Wisdom is preserved in five uncial manuscripts (the Vaticanus, the Sinaiticus, the Alexandrinus, the Ephremiticus, and the Venetus) and in ten cursives (two of which are incomplete).

Some believe that Philo Judaeus of Alexandria is the mystery author of the book of Hebrews and also the Wisdom of Solomon.

It is one of seven books about wisdom, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs or Song of Solomon, Job, and Sirach.

  1. John 1:1-2 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." This was clearly a reference to Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
