Alexandria Significance
The scriptures are full of instances where men of influence who may not be on the righteous path are used by the Lord to establish other great things. Alexander the Great's Alexandria is a good example of that.
QUOTE (LDS Bible Dictionary)Jews settled here in large numbers, and it was for their use that the Greek translation of the O.T. Was made. (See Septuagint.) Alexandria was the meetingplace of Jewish religious belief and Greek philosophy. We see some of the results of this meeting in the book of the Wisdom of Solomon (see Apocrypha), possibly written in Greek by a Jew in Alexandria about the beginning of the Christian era. Philo, an eminent Jewish philosopher, lived at Alexandria, 20 B.C. - A.D. 50.
