Nature of The Threat

Trey Knowles' "Nature of the Threat" is a powerful song that reveals who accepted the devil's offer of power and domination. The lyrics echo the biblical moment when Satan took Jesus to a high place and offered Him all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for worship. Jesus rejected the offer, saying, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.'”

The song challenges the listener: How do you respond when faced with that same temptation? Do you answer like Jesus, or do you submit?

According to the narrative, the "European Red Man" accepted the devil's offer—choosing power, conquest, and worldly glory over righteousness. By saying “yes,” he embraced the devil's ways to gain control over the world, illustrating a path of greed and spiritual compromise.
