The Source of Wisdom of Heaven

God is the source of heavenly wisdom and it comes by the word of God. Wisdom is created by the Lord, and wisdom is a woman (female) in the application of truth in the conscience. It’s the woman (the spoken word of God) that provides the message for the Son of man to speak.
