More from the Good Emperor

It looks like we still have a couple more loose ends to tie up from the Chevron/B'er Sheva mystery, but as I'm deeply embroiled in studying for a very intense exam, we'll have to catch up on that stuff later. Here's a little breather, just another quote from Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (part of our ongoing saga to trace the Jewish roots of Antoninus' wisdom):

"All things are implicated with one another, and the bond between them is holy... For things have been co-ordinated, and they combine to form the same universe [order]. For there is one universe made up of all things, and one god who pervades all things, and one substance, and one law, one common reason in all intelligent animals (i.e. humans), and one truth..." (Meditations VII, 9)

Now I ask you, does this sound like the product of a pagan Roman society, or the result of the tutelage of one of the sages of Israel?
