Justo González writes that Luke uses a double typology, in which the theme of Adam in the garden parallels the theme of Israel in the wilderness. Significantly, while the entire passage reminds us of the temptation of Adam in the garden, the string of quotes from Deuteronomy with which Jesus responds reminds us of the temptation of Israel in the wilderness. Thus the entire story of the exodus and the wanderings in the wilderness becomes a typological axis, showing that from ancient times God was beginning to undo the evil that was done in the fall.
