"And he said to him, 'All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.'" (Matthew 4:9) What is Satan really after in the wilderness?

"Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory." (Matthew 4:8) Whenever Israel was brought to a new place, they compromised.

"Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple." (Matthew 4:5) In Matthew 4:5, before Satan tempts Jesus with words—he chooses a place.
