“[K]ings would tremble upon their thrones at my word … I should become a Counsellor & multitudes should seek counsel at my mouth & I should have great wisdom & power to fly through the midst under heaven … I should have power over my enemies & have long life & bring many into the kingdom of God Also that I should have the riches of the earth.”
