Luk 4:5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him[d] all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luk 4:6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
Remember the teachings? How it was taught that Adam fell and that the authority given to Adam was usurped/snatched away by the devil? How the devil became the god of this world? That was how I've heard it taught...I guess some of you in my generation or earlier may be nodding your heads in agreement...ya, ya something like that...
Having read the Word of God..I wish to share my findings/new understanding of the exact phrase "for that is delivered unto me"...and boy was it an exciting adventure to find out...stay tuned...
Forewarning! This note may be lengthy but surely thought changing..a paradigm shift..by my reckoning..for those who have not heard!..
Story goes...after Adam was put out of the garden of Eden (By the way he was given dominion before he was placed in the garden!)..after Noah (who found grace)..and many generations later the Lord God began looking for someone (He could have chosen anyone..a Chinese, an Indian) and He found in the land of Ur of the Chaldees (stargazers)..a man by the name Abram:
Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
...........Abram had lots of questions....best thing was that he believed...
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness.
Gen 15:8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Gen 15:9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Gen 15:10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
............
Gen 15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
Gen 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
The Lord God made a blood covenant with Abram! Why? Covenants are made between two parties so as to bind both sides with terms of the agreement..blood..life-binding
Now..unbeknownst to Abraham(ham added)..the salvation plan is go-go...because as Abraham was later asked to sacrifice his son Isaac..biggest mystery as to why the Lord God would want to do that? I always wondered...afterall He gave life in the first place..anyhow...
and as Abraham was ready to plunge the knife...
Gen 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
Here..I see that the Lord God now, too, would not withhold His Son and that He has gained legal entry to come (He gave dominion to Man over the earth in the first place and unlike an earthly king/man, the Righteous Lord God has to legally allow Himself entry...short of asking man for permission, the Lord God did the smart thing!) because of the blood covenant!...Amen! Praise the Lord!
The devil? not even involved...more on this later...
Enjoyed it?...Stay tuned..more to follow...
