'In The Desert' in the Bible

In those days John the Baptist came on the scene, preaching in the desert of Judaea,

(This was the man spoken of by the prophet Isaiah: The voice of one who cries in the desert, 'Make the way ready for the Lord, level the paths for him.')

If they tell you, 'Here he is in the desert,' do not go out; 'here he is in the chamber,' do not believe it.
