In Zechariah 4:6 we read, The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this message from the Lord : “You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my spirit.

The world’s low esteem for him could be measured by the low sales figures of his books. The world did not esteem him as highly as he esteemed himself. He was forever nattering on about getting away but remained close to home his entire life. He had an unhealthy mind but went about prescribing medicine to others. He was a narcissist who looked out at the world and saw his own reflection.
