Satan could have handed over the keys to Jesus in exchange for being worshiped by the Son of God. Paul calls the Devil the "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4) and Jesus Himself will later refer to Satan as the "ruler of this world" (John 12:31). What gave this temptation heft is that the rule of the earth did, in fact, belong to Satan. Satan offers Jesus ownership and rule of the entire world in exchange for worship. This last temptation involves pure and simple power. This most likely involved supernatural visions of various places on earth. On this peak, Satan shows Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in their glory. This seems to have been chosen simply for the sake of drama no mountain can literally see the entire world. For the third temptation of Jesus, Satan has taken Christ to a high mountain top.
