Matthew 4:1 (ESV Strong's)
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Our time in the wilderness of the world is an updated and remake of the freeing of Israel leaving the bondage of Egypt for the promised land of God. We are leaving the bondage of the world for the kingdom of heaven. Forty years of Israel in the desert corresponds to our lifetime of testing and endurance in obedience to the Lord as we live a life in Christ.
We enter the wilderness when we receive the Holy Spirit. He is with us and we follow Him to the throne of Christ.
