1 | title deed to the earth | Matt 4:8 | teragram123 | 60301 | ||
It is clear in this passage that Christ did not refute the statement that satan had made.. that he had the claim of the earth and could give it over to Christ without Him having to go to the Cross. The title deed to the earth was held at this time by satan, but Christ would soon win it from him in the battle on the cross and lead captivity captive. |

2 | title deed to the earth | Matt 4:8 | Timothy Paul | 60413 | ||
Yes teragram123, It is true that satan could not offer the kingdoms of the world if he did not control them. This authority was given to satan by Adam when he chose to obey satan instead of God. "captivity captive" I found in Eph 4:8 and here is what Matthew Henry's Commentary (published posthumously, circa 1720) says for our edification: "Captivity is here put for captives, and signifies all our spiritual enemies, who brought us into captivity before. He conquered those who had conquered us; such as sin, the devil, and death. Indeed, he triumphed over these on the cross; but the triumph was completed at his ascension, when he became Lord over all, and had the keys of death and hades put into his hands." However it is my belief that satan is still the prince of this world, and will be until the second coming. Peace, Tim |
