The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve lost their authority over this earth when they sinned against God. Psalms 8 and Hebrews 2 teaches that authority is restored in Christ, through His atonement for our sin and victory over death and Hell.

I believe that Satan's temptation to Jesus was real - the kingdoms of the world were Satan's to offer. Study out Revelation 5. There we see the title deed to the earth being presented, and no one able to open it - until Jesus takes it.

Revelation 5:1-9 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
