Number 3 of 6 in the series "Gods, goddesses, the secular nations, and the religious."

Satan offers Jesus all the Kingdoms of the world.
Was his offer VALID?

A composite image that represents Jesus, back view, standing on a high overhang, Satan, as a shadowy, hooded figure beside him, both contemplating six artistic creations of city centers of the 1st century which represent the kingdoms of the world, entities Satan offers Jesus.

Below, the texts of the above image according to the sequence to be followed when reading them.

God, politics, governments of the world, and the religious.

The authority and limited powers granted by God to Satan allow him to exercise influence over politicians and secular governments.

“Again the DEVIL took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the KINGDOMS of the WORLD and their glory. And he said to him: ALL THESE I WILL GIVE YOU if you will fall down and worship me. Then Jesus said to him: Be gone, SATAN! For it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.”  Mateo 4:8-10

​SATAN offers Jesus all the Kingdoms of the world. Was HIS offer VALID?

YES, because, if not, the temptation would be meaningless. How “VALID” if God is the one who has authority over ALL kingdoms?

Because GOD gives SATAN limited authority to function as “the GOD of this WORLD” (2 Corinthians 4:4), as “the RULER of this WORLD.” John 12:31. To influence politicians, judges, state employees, educators, the military, and citizens in general.

Each one determines how much darkness and how much light to receive in his or her inner self and how, when, and to what extent these powers manifest themselves. Neither politicians, rulers, or voters are accepted. Not even Jesus Christ himself!
