Talmud (Sanh. 98a) — humbling the haughty in Messianic days
The Humble Exalted
David praised God for saving the humble and humbling the proud.
Old Testament
2 Samuel 22:28
You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.
New Testament
Luke 1:52
He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.
Why This Matters
David praised God for saving the humble and humbling the proud. Mary echoed the same theme — God brings down the powerful and lifts up the lowly.
Reflection
Jesus, keep me close to You in service. Let this lesson turn knowledge into prayerful action.
