Charlton Heston as Moses
(CHRISTIAN POST) – Is Kanye West leading a new generation into the “Promised Land” of higher education? The 45-year-old "Jesus Walks" rapper and hip-hop cultural icon compared himself to the biblical Moses after recently launching his own Christian private school in Southern California.
His Instagram story went viral after he wrote, “No one asked Moses how much he slept,” in white text over a black background, in an apparent comparison between himself and Moses, to whom God revealed the Ten Commandments and led the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt.

While he did not offer any context for the reference, most of his fans think he made the comparison in response to his efforts to open “Donda Academy,” a Christian-based school located in Simi Valley, California, and named after West’s late mother.
