Adelaide Heward-MillsHostNow, I looked up the definition of wilderness and it said, "An uncivilized, uninhabited, and inhospitable region.
A neglected or abandoned area." And then the dictionary gave an example and said, "A voice in the wilderness is an unheeded advocate of reform." [laughs] You know, John the Baptist was a voice in the wilderness, but I didn't think that he was unheeded, but the dictionary said, "An unheeded advocate of reform." Now, it is derived from a word which means inhabited only by wild animals, and the root of the word is wild deerness.
Do you understand? Wild deerness is the root and origin of the word, and then it became wilderness.
And in the Bible, the wilderness has often been a place where it's uninhabited.
It looks like you're at the backside of the desert, and that seems to be the place called the wilderness.
He turned aside to look at the sight, and then in the midst of that, he met God.
