omon was aware of this and knew that Satan was causing
troubles.The power was on devil’s side in the Old Testament.
From Adam to the birth of Christ and redemption on the
cross, man had little power but Satan had great power. King
Solomon is saying that it is better to die rather than be under
Satan. King Solomon understood that he had great wealth
but as the power was with Satan so it was a waste to live. King

sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
And he arose, and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given
such power unto men.
Who has the power? The Son of Man has the power on the
earth. All the people glorified God who gave such power to
man. When will the church get the glory? When the church
gets the power, it will get the glory. Then God will say that
He has received glory through His church. We should pray,
do the works and show the power. God’s original plan was
that man should be with power.The world sees man in dark-
