What did Satan offer Jesus in Matthew 4?
In Matthew 4, during the temptation, Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, then offered to give them to Him if He would fall down and worship him. The kingdoms were presented as Satan's to give.
Les explains that in the Matthew 4 temptation, Satan took Jesus up, in this case to a mountaintop, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Satan had the audacity to say, “Fall down and worship me, and I'll give them to you.” Les notes that the kingdoms are Satan's to give, showing Satan's power and audacity, though God still limits him. This connects to the coming antichrist, who has tremendous Satanic power behind him and will not attain absolute world control until the midpoint of the tribulation, a period of forty-two months, or three and a half years.
