In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical locations that are uninhabited and barren, as well as metaphorical states of spiritual desolation or solitude. The wilderness is frequently depicted as a place of testing, preparation, and divine encounter.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the biblical context, the wilderness holds significant theological and symbolic meaning. It is often seen as a place of trial and purification, where individuals encounter God and are tested in their faith. The Israelites' 40-year journey in the wilderness is a foundational narrative, symbolizing a period of transformation and reliance on God. In the New Testament, the wilderness is where John the Baptist preached and where Jesus was tempted by Satan, underscoring its role as a setting for spiritual preparation and revelation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2048.htm">erémos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a solitude, a wilderness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deserts (1), desolate place (2), wilderness (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2047: ἐρημία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐρημία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐρημίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἔρημος</span>), <span class="accented">a solitude, an uninhabited region, a waste</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-33.htm">Matthew 15:33</a>;
