Bible Reading
I'd like to add to what was spoken about during the video. About 1/2 way thru after the music, there is a short clip of the "Wilderness area" and me on camera. In the original taping, I I did a short introduction and then gave a bit of commentary, but for whatever reason it didn't record that one section. So would like to say/ summarize what was in the original tape:
1-----Scenario where John the. Baptist had recently Baptized Jesus and how that led to what can be describes as the Holy Spirit, God, And Jesus all in the same set of verses. Then how that relates to the verses concerning the Temptation of Christ.
2-----The setting of the Wilderness as compared to what I personally would describe as wilderness.
I took the original meaning of the word 'wilderness' in this particular verse:
G2048
ἔρημος
erēmos
er'-ay-mos
Of uncertain affinity; lonesome, that is, (by implication) waste (usually as a noun, G5561 being implied): - desert, desolate, solitary, wilderness.
Total KJV occurrences: 50
3-----Then I commented on the condition Jesus may have endured during His 40 days and nights in that wilderness touching on
I would call this wilderness area as lonesome desolation for Jesus ( or any of us that may be in some of our lives.)
My hope is that this will help clarify the Bible reading as a whole.

- The heat and cold of that wilderness with no shelter or maybe even any extra clothing.
- The hunger he must of felt would make anyone of us stir crazy mad if not dead.
- The sense of being alone. There were no people around to help Jesus or even to offer some sort of food or shelter...any or all of these conditions could cause temptation to enter our lives
I would call this wilderness area as lonesome desolation for Jesus ( or any of us that may be in some of our lives.)
