8558. 'From the wilderness of Sin' means away from a state of temptation having to do with good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the wilderness' as a state when temptations have to be undergone, dealt with in 6828, 8098; and from the meaning of 'Sin' as the nature and state of a temptation having to do with good, dealt with in 8398.
