THE WILDERNESS IN ISAIAH. In order to consider the wilderness as found in Isaiah, we must first understand why that term is used and the importance of the experience. Rev. 12:6 It is the Bride of Christ who is delivered to a place of protection. Whether it be a wilderness or a desert or just a solitary place to which she is taken, Isaiah will give us a full picture of that locale. She fled, not in fear, but to escape or vanish from sight. She is brought to a place prepared by the Lord. Can there, even remotely, be any lack or discomforting circumstances there? The time element of her sojourn is listed as a thousand two hundred and threescore days. The Amplified Version lists the other two measurement of time found in the book of Revelation here. That is forty-two months and three and one-half years. They are all one and the same period of time and the only measurement of the tribulation given in the book of Revelation.
