‘Unaccredited Institutions of Higher Education’

As I scour in search
to apply,

time
hopefully well-spent,

to comply to standards
of elevated learning

of ‘purpose’

I did ‘spy’

‘uncredited institutions
of higher education’…

I began to wonder:

‘why’

would I attend these?
Or, why not? since ‘free will’ is not denied…

It would depend upon my personal ‘needs’…

‘Unaccredited’ can mean ‘not eligible’
for ‘federal’ financial aid.

Am I independently

Wealthy?…

Then maybe I need not agonize over
whether I would be ‘that fish

swimming/struggling
ardently

upstream’,

caring whether ‘established entities’
recognize my credentials

in this complicated
‘scheme of things’?

What a luxury–

having not to be concerned
with an ‘accreditation’ undeserved!–

Not earned.

Yet: ‘Not being able to
transfer credits

to another school’
poses a major problem too–

‘Not being able to obtain’

appropriate professional
licensure in your field’

may be enough reason

‘unaccredited’ to spurn…

‘Validation’
to Attain…

Jesus
to his disciples said:

“Have no fear,
little flock,

for your Father
has approved

of giving you the Kingdom.” Luke 12 :32.

Not by a ‘pharisaical’ institution bred;
but by Christ, under his Father’s direction, led:

“‘And the kingdom and the rulership and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens

were given to the people
who are the holy ones

of the Supreme One.”–Jehovah God.

“Their kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom,

and all rulerships
will serve and obey them.’” Dan. 7:27.

“The seventh angel blew his trumpet.

And there were loud voices in heaven, saying:

“The kingdom of the world
has become the Kingdom of our Lord

and of his Christ,

and he will rule as king
forever and ever.” Rev. 11:15.

For: “In the days of those kings

the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
that will never be destroyed.

And this kingdom will not be passed on
to any other people.

It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms,
and it alone will stand forever”. Dan. 2:44.

“And I saw another angel
ascending from the sunrise,

having a seal of the living God;

and he called with a loud voice to the four angels
to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,
saying:

“Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees,

until after we have sealed
the slaves of our God

in their foreheads.” Rev. 7:2, 3.

“I tell you,

in that night two people will be in one bed;

the one will be taken along,
but the other will be abandoned.

There will be two women
grinding at the same mill;

the one will be taken along,

but the other will be abandoned.” Luke 17: 34, 35.

Accredited?
Or, Unaccredited,… instead?

Look! a great crowd.​—Rev. 7:9.

The apostle John received an exciting prophetic vision. In it, angels are told to hold back the destructive winds of the great tribulation until the final sealing of a group of slaves. (Rev. 7:1-3) That group is made up of 144,000 who will rule with Jesus in heaven. (Luke 12:32; Rev. 7:4) Then John mentions another group, so vast that he exclaims: “Look!”​—an expression that may indicate his surprise at seeing something unexpected. What does John see? “A great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” (Rev. 7:9-14) Imagine how happy John must have been to learn about myriads of people practicing true worship in the future! That vision no doubt strengthened John’s faith. How much more should it strengthen our faith, since we live in the time of the fulfillment of the vision! We have seen the gathering of millions whose hope is to survive the great tribulation and live forever on earth. w19.09 26 ¶2-3
