King James Version
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty,
and casteth down the strength
of the confidence thereof.
Man is to blame.
For putting Harvard, or any elite institution, above GOD.
For allowing students to rally against Israel.
For honoring any person, above GOD.
Worse, for honoring money, above GOD's laws.
How deluded man is.
Harvard has become proud.
She doesn't seem to care that president Trump threatens to freeze US$2-B of their funding.
Maybe because she has the "largest academic endowment in the world".
A whopping "$53.2 billion as of June 30, 2024".
Thus, they seem to scoff at president Trump's reforms.
What they don't realize is GOD appointed Trump to be president.
Scripture warns the wealthy, and haughty:
Proverbs 18:11-12
King James Version
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility.
We need some backgrounder on this Ivy League.
Harvard has groomed many presidents, leaders, and thinkers.
Here's how Harvard University was founded:
"Harvard was founded and authorized by the Massachusetts General Court, the governing legislature of colonial-era Massachusetts Bay Colony."
"Founded October 28, 1636, and named for its first benefactor, the Puritan clergyman John Harvard, it is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States."
-- Wikipedia
The childless John Harvard bequeathed to the school £780—"half of his monetary estate".
"Perhaps more importantly[19] he also gave his scholar's library comprising some 329 titles (totaling 400 volumes, some titles being multivolume works).[20]: 192 In gratitude, it was subsequently ordered "that the Colledge agreed upon formerly to bee built at Cambridg shalbee called Harvard Colledge." [3] (Even before Harvard's death, Newtowne had been renamed[3] Cambridge, after the English university attended by many early colonists, including Harvard himself.)"
-- Wikipedia
That makes two "Harvards" in ERROR --
Harvard University.
The university turned its back on the Jews.
Anyone who turns their back on Israel is in error.
Anyone who refuses to protect her rights has been warned.
GOD expressed His love for His chosen nation:
Genesis 12:3
King James Version
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth
be blessed.
John Harvard, being "Puritan":
"The Puritans in the United States were great believers in education. They wanted their children to be able to read the Bible themselves, and interpret it themselves, rather than have to have a clergyman tell them what it says and means. This then leads to thinking for themselves, which is the basis of democracy."
-- Wikipedia
Let's break down what being "Puritan" means:
"They wanted their children to be able to read the Bible themselves,
and interpret it themselves,
rather than have to have a clergyman tell them what it says and means.
This then leads to thinking for themselves,
which is the basis of democracy."
Those, in itself, are already in error.
We do not have the power to interpret the Bible ourselves.
We can only interpret rightly, if we are born again.
A born again is taught by the SPIRIT of GOD.
Zechariah 4:6
King James Version
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying,
This is the word of the Lord
unto Zerubbabel, saying,
Not by might,
nor by power,
but by my spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts.
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
2 Peter 1:20-21
King James Version
20 Knowing this first,
that no prophecy of the scripture
is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time
by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
As we need SPIRIT, we dearly need JESUS.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
2 Timothy 1:9
King James Version
9 Who hath saved us,
and called us with an holy calling,
not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began,
We truly are deluded, if we think universities, of the highest education, and endowment, can give us the necessary education we need.
We need CHRIST.
Colossians 2:8
King James Version
8 Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ.
Intellect does get in the way.
Proof in the next post.
