Proverbs 14:24
The crown of the wise is their riches:
But the foolishness of fools is folly.
A crown is defined as an encircling of the head marking authority. It marks an authority which is displayed to all; riches and accomplishments we are proud of.
We will go ‘double-dip’ for this one. I always believe that the ‘Book’ provide the interpretation for the ‘Book’. Let us then compare this proverb with the following one, The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Proverbs 14:18 I think that it is more appropriate to associate the riches of the wise with his intelligent knowledge of the Word rather than with an excess of personal abundance. The contrast of the second stanza also confirms the interpretation.
In the Revelation that Yeshua gave to John at the end of the Messianic Scriptures, it is written that we shall reign with the Messiah in the Millennium. This ‘reigning’ though is not a ‘given’. It is conditional. The Messianic Scriptures specify that it is he that ‘suffers with Him’ who shall also ‘reign’ with Him. It is those who were beheaded resisting the beast’s government who inherit that crown (Rev 20:4).
The prophet Hoseah proclaims under the inspiration of the Most High, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: He then explains what he means in the following words: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hoseah 4:6. Many believers today swallow an uninformed form of godliness without the power thereof while rejecting an honest and sincere form and though it, their faith is destroyed. We need to each one of us be responsible for our knowledge of Scripture. Our intelligent knowledge of Scripture is what keeps the sneaky hands of the ‘beast’ off of us, and is the crown of our ruling.
Our Master did say, Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free.

Let us therefore not be lazy, just satisfied with other’s re-ingurgitations of the Word.
Let us take responsibility to know It so we escape the oppression of bondage as well as the lies of bigotry.
