Matthew 4:8 (Satan shows Jesus all kingdoms from a high mountain) — this must be supernatural, not visual. The highest local mountains are ~2,700 ft. Even flat-earthers can't see China from Israel. Satan showed Jesus these things supernaturally. The theological point: Jesus succeeds where Israel failed — resisting idolatry at the "high places" where Israel repeatedly fell.

Jesus was near Jerusalem during the 40-day temptation — local peaks max ~2,700 ft. Even flat-earthers can't see all kingdoms from there. This was supernatural showing, not a cosmological proof. The theological significance: Israel's persistent sin was worshipping at "high places." Satan takes Jesus to a high place and offers worship — Jesus succeeds where Israel failed. The wilderness temptation parallels Israel's wilderness failures.
