It seems to me that if God really told VPW that he would teach him the word like it has not been known since the first century if he would teach it to others, he would keep that to himself and just teach the word like it has not been known since the first century. In other words let your work speak for itself. It just appeared to be marketing hype to me. Is God really into 20th century marketing? I always am skeptical when people make these "big fat claims" about products. Primarily VPW was an assimilator and marketer of all these people's research without giving them proper credit.
It reminds me of when I was a boy, my father told me we were going to eat at this special place where the fried chicken was so good it would melt in your mouth. Being a good son who idolized his father, I thought he wouldn't lie to me. When I ate that chicken, to this day I swear it melted in my mouth. The persuasive suggestion from someone we consider to be so credible is really powerful.
