No... It is not the prestige or wealth of the world, but the wealth of forgiveness in the WORD
AELW2:37
Genesis 6:4
"These were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown."
"This clause also serves to describe the small church with its few souls. These are cross-bearers who have neither prestige nor wealth but do have the Word. This is their only wealth, but it is wealth that the world both despises and persecutes. By contrast the נְפִלִים, or giants, not only usurp the glorious name of the church on the grounds that they are descended from the patriarchs, but they also wield authority."
