The devil, the father of lies, on getting "in the room where it happens"

"Satan boldly alleged that these kingdoms were all delivered to him that he had power to dispose of them and all their glory, and to give them to whomsoever he will"...

"But I rather take it that he claimed this power ... as delivered to him not by the Lord, but by the kings and people of these kingdoms, who gave their power and honour to the devil, Eph. 2:2. Hence he is called the god of this world, and the prince of this world. 

It was promised to the Son of God that he should have the heathen for his inheritance, Ps. 2:8. “Why,” saith the devil, “the heathen are mine, are my subjects and votaries; but, however, they shall be thine, I will give them thee, upon condition that thou worship me for them, and say that they are the rewards which I have given thee, as others have done before thee (Hos. 2:12), and consent to have and hold them by, from, and under, me.”

-Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 4
