Copied from a Chris Beat Cancer Facebook post
In the Bible, the flood lasted 40 days and 40 nights.
Day 41 came and the rain stopped.
Moses committed murder and hid in the desert for 40 years.
Year 41 came, and God called him to lead Israel out of Egypt.
Moses went up on the mountain for 40 days.
On day 41, he received the Ten Commandments.
The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.
In Year 41, they walked into the Promised Land.
Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days.
Day 41 came and David slew him.
Jonah preached a message of repentance to Ninevah for 40 days.
On day 41, God stopped His plan to destroy them.
Jesus fasted and was tempted for 40 days.
On Day 41 the devil fled.

All this to say . . . don’t quit. The rain will stop, the giant will fall, and you will enter your “promised land.”
Don’t give up at 40.
41 is coming.
Yes! 40 days means something to all of us, even if we don't feel it. Astronomical time maps with it, and even Stonehenge originally had 40 day markings. And skin cells regenerate every 40 days too. You're on to something here!

DeleteAh, got it!
DeleteI always heard that 40 was used often because it just means "a lot of" in the Jewish culture. Nevertheless, with God any day could be day 40 because His mercies are new every morning (Lam 3).
ReplyDelete40 is symbolic for sure. From a website called Book of Mormon Central I read, "'Forty' in the scriptures is symbolic of a period of probation, testing, and tribulation."
