The Gospel of Mark jumps straight into the profound significance of the wilderness in Biblical prophecy and narrative. He does so intentionally to demonstrate that we are at war with the powers and principalities of this world. The war is ongoing, even though the outcome is certain. We can find joy and hope in God's mighty victory, but we should acknowledge the balance between desiring God to come quickly and recognizing the patience that God exhibits so that many, including us, can prepare through repentance, obedience, and continuous faithfulness.
