Could Satan really offer Jesus the world?
Have you ever wondered if Satan really has control over the world? After all, Satan offered the world to Jesus when he was tempting Him.
Well according to Brigham Young that’s a hard “no.” He said,
“Who owns this earth? Does the Devil? No, he does not, he pretended to own it when the Savior was here, and promised it all to him if he would fall down and worship him; but he did not own a foot of land. . . .” (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 15:5)
So does Satan own the earth? Nope- even though he does seem to have minor amounts of control over some elements- the earth belongs to Jesus!
