Re: PINK FLOYD'S MUSIC: SOUNDTRACK TO HISTORY (Part 4): "The Division Bell" and Jesus Tempted by Satan

(*Note: I don't want replies like "This isn't a religious site." I know that, I'm just comparing something.*) Now compare the lyrics of "What Do You Want For Me?" to the event in the Bible in Matthew Chapter 4, in which Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. But Jesus rejected all of Satan's temptations and empty promises. "Away with you Satan!" (Matthew 4:10) Now: "If I don't promise you the answers would you go?" Then, in verses 8-9, the Devil takes Jesus up to a high place and shows him all the kingdoms and offers them to Jesus if He will bow down and worship him. "You can own everything you see, you can drift, you can dream, you can walk on waters, anything you want..." But still, Jesus rejected Satan's empty promise.
Then there's "Poles Apart;" Did you know it was all going to go so wrong for you? Compare that to Revelation 20:10, in which it describes when the Devil is thrown into the lake of fire. Then, there's the self-explanatory line "And did you see it was all going to go so right for me?"
