What did Satan offer Jesus? One of the most significant things is he offered him, said, "Look," and he took him to a high place, and he said, "Look, I'll show you all the kingdoms of the earth. You could just have this if you just bow to me." Jesus rebuked him and refused that temptation. And Carter says this, he says, "Would a technicality like bowing the knee to the devil really be so important compared to the tremendous good that Emperor Jesus could do as a ruler of the whole world?
Did not God want the Messiah to rule the world? Was Jesus not called to be the Messiah?" Jesus said no to the devil's offer, but the bishops of the Christian Church in the fourth century said yes, and Christendom was born.
