Ecclesiastes of the Christian Bible says in lines 1:4, All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with Him for ever. Who can number the sand of the seas, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity? Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom? Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting. Line 14 says, To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb.
Pistis Sophia means faith and wisdom. Sophia is considered an aeon, an angel of tremendous
positive creative powers. Faith is a confident belief in the truth of God, and rests on no
evidence or logical proof. With wisdom, we understand and have good judgment to discern
what is true and lasting (what is of God).
Definitely depicted as female, Pistis Sophia is said to have created all the greater angels.
She also is said to plant her qualities in all individual humans before birth.
Each human, each great angel, is virtually mothered by Faith and Wisdom.
The Biblical Proverbs in 24:6-8 state that wisdom, identified with Gods law,
has been offered to every people and nation.
