SELECTIONS FROM PHILO JUDAEUS
PHILO
JUDAEUS (circa. 20 B.C.E to 50 C.E.): “...For

Word, his First-Begotten Son, who, as ( the Viceroy of a mighty King

written: “Behold I Am : I will send ( Mine Angel ) before thy face
to keep thee in the way…” - (Page 22, De Agricul.,

His subjects…” - (Page 22, Quis Rer. Div, Haer., Introduction,

PHILO
JUDAEUS (circa. 20 B.C.E to 50 C.E.):
“...Placed over the ark, and winged, are the Cherubim, who (
represent ) the creative and royal ( power ). But over these is the
Divine Word, who does not assume a visible appearance, nor resemble
anything accessible by sense, but, existing as ( the Image of God ),
is the ( Eldest of all ) things that can be known, ( placed nearest
), and without any thing intervening, ( to ) Him who ( alone ) is the
Self-Existent…” - (Page 20-21, De Profugis, Introduction,The

God...” - (Chapter 27:146(b), Page 282,
