A Bridegroom presupposes two things. First, a person in a single capacity; and as so considered, he is a suitor. Secondly, a person in a married estate; and as so considered, he is a head or husband. In both these respects Christ may be considered, and is held forth in the word of God.
A Wilderness is commonly a waste, wild, and barren place, some of which are of a vast bigness: this World is of a vast bigness, and very barren of grace and holiness.
