Did you know:
1. That Israel was miraculously fed in the wilderness by Elohim for 40yrs, with the bread which came down from Shamayim (Heaven)? Shemot 16:35 (Ex.)
2. That the bread or manna (which in the Hebrew means [what is it?] See Strong's #4478) which the fathers did eat was a symbol of Yahshua Messiah? Yochanan 6:51 (Jn)
3. That the manna which came down from Shamayim was a prophecy of the willful ignorance of many among the religious leaders and people of Yahshua's day; in that when He came they said {Who is this?}Yochanan 12:34; Ur 7:49, 5:21; Matit'yah ha Levi 21:10;
4. That the manna which our Abba fed the people for 40yrs in the wilderness was a prophecy of the withholding of manna for 40days from His only begotten Son Yahshua while He was in the wilderness?
5. That the physical eating of the manna in the wilderness without a living spiritual connection with the Father through faith in the true Bread of Life which was to come; was not sufficient for the saving of the soul? The physical death of many who wandered in the wilderness for 40 yrs. was a symbol of spiritual death because of disobedience? This too was a prophecy of the many; who, in Yahshua's day were legalistic; content with a mere outward performance of the Law; and without true repentance toward Elohim; of which Yochanan the Baptist spoke(Matit'yah ha Levi 3:8), would avail them nothing? The letter of the Law profiteth nothing;{Yochanan 6:63 (Jn.)} but the Word (Bread) it is spirit and it is life.
6. That the 40 day fast was the means through which Yahshua reached to the very depths of human deprevity and gluttony, and immorality, and by His mighty right arm, lifted us up? Mashiakim Yehudim 2:18; 5:8 (Heb.)
7. That know one else has been, or ever, will be called upon to make such a huge sacrifice? For He is the "Lamb of Elohim which taketh away this sin of the world;" Yochanan 1:29; See also P'yilut Hashaliachim 4:12
8. That we are to receive His victory over a perverted appetite [excessive eating and drinking] (Ur 21:34;Mattit'yah ha Levi 24:49 by exercising temperance in all things (as it is written)? 1Cor9:25;1Cor.6:19,20;1Cor. 10:31; Rom. 12:1 Eph. 5:18.
9. That the 3 stern Temptations against Yahshua in the wilderness conflict with Ha Satan is replayed again in the domain of every human heart ?Jam.1:14; Kefa Aleph 5:8(Pet.); Rom.15:4.
10. That in meeting the foe of all mankind in our wilderness of temptation we must, like our great Exemplar, sternly resist these temptations if we are to realize in our life His victory over the world?Mashiakim Yehudim 2:18; Yochanan 5:4; 16:33( Remembering that the battle has been fought and the victory has already been won. Our duty is to bring our lives in harmony with Yahshua's mighty righteousness; not by works lest any man should boast, but by a living faith which works to the purifying of the soul; for it is written: "And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." Yochanan Aleph 3:3 (1Jn.)
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; Kefa Aleph 4:1(1Pet.)

In A Solitary Place
In considering the place where Yahshua was directly tempted of ha Satan we ask; what significance would the wilderness or (eramos Strong's #2048 )be to Him; first of all, then to us His followers? The Greek word for wilderness (eramos) means solitary, lonely, or desolate. The picture we get is that the Ruach Ha kodash led Yahshua into a solitary place, where He could contemplated more deeply His life mission, which was soon to commence.
We understand from the story of the Exodus from Egypt, that [Israel]; the first born son, was called into the wilderness to receive from Elohim the Law, Instructions and Teachings, which would prepare them for their mission as being teachers of the nations. Here, in a solitary place, away from all the corrupting influences of the pagan nations around them, they were; for forty years, taught YHWH'S Laws, Judgments, and Statues. Here they committed and covenanted themselves (by a blood sacrifice) to be a set apart people unto Elohim. Here they were tempted of ha Satan to see whether they would keep Yahweh's Laws or not.
In like manner, Yahshua, the first born of YHWH was called into the wilderness (a solitary place) to be alone with His Abba to receive the final preparation for His public ministry to the world which was soon to open up before Him. Away from all His earthly family and friends, Yahshua saw, without any outside distractions; the road He must travel to become our Sacrifice, our Redeemer. The forty days of hungering and thirsting after righteousness which He submitted Himself to; answers to the forty years of traveling through the wilderness by the Hebrew nation. (I have appointed thee a day for a year)[seeY'chizki'el 4:6 Eze.& B'midvar14:34 Num.]..The victory that Yahshua gained for us reaches back to the Garden of Eden and forward to the very last repenting, believing, sinner. The temptation and the victory He gained, was a reaffirmation of the covenant He entered into; for us, and in our stead. For the basis of the first Covenant, being faulty, gave way to a new and living Covenant, being established by better promises.(Mashiakim Yehudim 6:8) I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.T'hilim 40:8
Do you sometimes feel all alone. Have you ever sensed the silence of the wilderness even when all around there is a great concourse of people? This, my friend, is the school in which we are taught of Elohim. You may, by circumstances, be situated in such a way so as none can fully understand your walk with Yahshua. But be assured of Yahshua's promise to be there with you in your battle with Satan.
The people of YHWH are now in a solitary place.We are now being prepared of YHWH for the final ministry and conflict.(See The Gethsemane Crisis and the Coming Crisis at www.arrestedforsedition.com) We must, overcome all three temptations; as Yahshua did, with a plain it is written..
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. Yochanan Aleph 5:4 (1Jn)
