Intelligence Brief
Bible Dictionary: Hebrew 'nasak' — to pour out, to install, to set in place (used of anointing kings). 'From everlasting' (me'olam) means from eternity past, before time itself. Wisdom is not a late addition to God's plan but the original operating principle. Historical Context: The language echoes royal installation — wisdom is enthroned before the world exists. This is not merely poetic flourish; it is a claim about the eternal nature of divine wisdom and its priority over all created things. Scarlet Thread: Christ is 'the same yesterday, today, and forever' (Heb 13:8). He was 'foreknown before the foundation of the world' (1 Pet 1:20). The eternal Son, installed as mediator before time, is the reality Proverbs 8 anticipates.
