The excerpt that supports the statement that Nat Turner believed he was destined for great things from an early age is:
“I surely would be a prophet, as the Lord had shewn me things that had happened before my birth.”
This statement indicates his belief in a prophetic role and a sense of purpose tied to a divine calling.
