Herbert Kitchener - a relation of yours ​

George Orwell’s “childhood idol”.

Big Brother from '1984' is based on this infamous historical figure

Before Big Brother, there was Lord Kitchener. Read the backstory in "Grand Illusions: American Art and the First World War" by David M. Lubin.

The Apostles derived their understanding from the Old Testament prophecies, for example, John 1:1 draws on Genesis 1:1, Philippians heavily reflects themes from Isaiah, and Galatians is deeply rooted in the Servant Songs and messages of the prophets. Their teachings were built on the foundation of the Hebrew Scriptures. All we have is "Logos" from which all things exist, past, present, and future! Unfortunately, the early Church Fathers did not follow the Apostles lead causing them to deflect into many hurtful lusts. All will be revealed at his coming!

An old testament reference I would give serious regard to is
“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. ”
Psalms 2:12 KJV

The question NT Jews must have been asking themselves I think more than any other, was, "does God have a son? ", rather than, "who is God?".
It's a question that is seriously under scrutiny today.

I think the evidence in support for a pre-incarnation Son is stronger than inference.

Yes. And yet the key to the pre-incarnation of the Son of God, only comes with a proper understanding of the creation:

God created the heavens and the earth and then created man of the same substance, and called it an "image." Think that through very carefully.

From that point forward that image-based and defined world is revealed following the same "Let there be light; and there was light" process unfolding the man and his world. Which then with the fall comes the fulfillment and effect of darkness--that shadow of turning that only exists in this created world; and the unfolding and advancing of God's salvation plan--not only for this world, but to rid the heavens of darkness (evil) also, namely Satan.

Fast forward to Messiah, and the "image" becomes "God with us"--God himself, made manifest by and in the same imagery. Thus, God is One; and yet the image of God has seemed to take on an image of His own. But what shall we say, that a self portrait makes Two? Still, among men, among the world in its own context--if one is so foolish to insist upon doing so, or if considered in story form like the words of a book that is written--should not such a character exist and even be given His own name while the curtain is still showing Him as such? Would that not make such an image--God's babe, His child by creation?

Is the world really apart from God--and if so, is it not proper even to separate God from His own image?

It is--but only for a time.
