Op As a christian,I have one word for you. There is no BIG significance there. Just see the Old Testament where most of these "events" are recorded as a myth and you know what obtains in myths. If you want to know the origin of the OT,google the Enuma Elish and see. Read that part of the bible with SENSE. |

Christ started his ministry 40 years before Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70.. All the above mentioned fourty (40) was a shadow of the real fourth (40) which was a description of a Generation.. A generation is calculated within 40 years interval and as such all Christ said in Mathew 24 about the [color=#990000][/color]desolation is applicable to the jews alive in his days. Verse 34 of Matthew 24 says ( Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.) This means the fulfillment of all prophecies with 40 years interval by Christ.. So all the fourty is gears towards AD70 1 Like 1 Share |

@Op let me cure your doubts once and for all: In Judaism certain numbers are considered sacred. Such numbers as 3,7,12 sometimes 10 and your dear 40. There,tell that to your OT-obssessed sunday school teacher next time she asks. Thank me later. |

How is this Bible Study? 40 days is not equal to 40 years. The law itself was given by a man. Can't you see you can hardly quote the epistles. |

mattyboy007:Hi. I read your post with keen interest. The comments are also interesting. Numbers in scripture are delicate n should be intapreted carefully and diligently. From 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 21, 40, 70, 120 then 666 40 IS THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER. This transfer could be dispensational (Noah from the era of conscience to the era of promise, Israel from the era of promise to the era of law, jesus after resurrection, from d era of the law to the era of grace), authoritarian ( Goliath, from the spiritual authority of Saul to that of David, Moses, Israel from the spiritual authority of Pharaoh to that of Moses), climatic ( jesus in d wilderness, from Israel being covered by d prophetic cloud n message of John to being now covered by that of Christ), spiritual sufficiency (Elijah's trek of fear to that of faith), statutory ( the number of whip signifies from guilty to pardoned, death to life), e.tc The next time your pastor calls for a 40 day event, please ask him "sir, what's the transfer so I can pray along".

Must be something to do with numerology |
Re: What Is The Significance Of 40 In The Bible? by lele007: 8:26am On Sep 04, 2017 |
Hello Op. Firstly, if you have not been baptized in the Holy Ghost then I strongly advise against studying numerology in scripture,. only the Spirit can give you proper direction. As to your question there is an answer. it is found in understanding the key significance of the numbers 4, and 10. Key: on the 4th day, God created the (4) seasons of the earth. Key: to punish Egypt, God sent 10 plagues upon them. the commenter who said 40 signifies testing was not wrong , but it signifes more than just testing. If you decide to study numbers in scriptures , you will get hooked on it, and wiser than evn Solomon. Without the Holy Spirit as your guide, you could lose your way, not seeing the forest for the trees, if you know what I mean. I wrote this to show you that you ARE on to something. Jeremiah 33:3 |

Hier: Did you just call some one a fool after all the Bible quotations on your profile ?? Hope that was a mistake and if its not you really need to read, understand and meditate on the Bible. |
