THE TRUE SHEPHERD 

(You can see the North to South movement of the sun behind my house which  faces East to West. The Sun is touching its southern most point, just about. Then, it will move toward the pole to its right, or it will more back to the North. This is the death and resurrection of the Sun of God.)

Again, speaking of God as the True Shepherd of the universe and all things therein, the elements and all therein, the sun, moon, and planets, the stars and heavens, Philo writes: 

“[He placed] at the head His own True Reason (Logos), His First-born Son, who shall succeed unto the care of this sacred flock, as though he were the lieutenant of the Great King.” 4
p. 239

The Divine Reason of things, moreover, is regarded as the Plērōma or Fullness of all powers,—ideal space, and ideal time, if such terms can be permitted. The Logos is the Æon or Eternity proper. And so Philo speaks of:

“The Divine Reason (Logos) whom God Himself hath full-filled entirely and throughout with incorporeal powers.” 1
