The speaker here is the Son of God speaking of Himself as Christ, the Word, the only begotten of God. The verse belongs to the revelation of what true wisdom is. That true wisdom is what true faith enables the soul to understand, so that the soul may rise out of an imperfect, undeveloped state, with faith taking in the whole man.
It places Him with the eternal Father before His works of old, possessed and set up from everlasting, within the fellowship He has always shared with God. He is one with the Father in nature, in character, and in purpose. He is the Sovereign's associate and co-worker who could appreciate His purposes and share His joy in giving happiness to created beings, the only being who could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God.
