2 | What does the number 40 mean? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 19171 | ||
Greetings Roberta! The simplest answer is this: Look at the context! If it says 40 days, then it means 40 days. If it says 40 years, it means 40 years. Attempts to read hidden meanings into numbers is a waste of time. If God wanted to attach a meaning to a number, He would tell us. The only verse in the entire Bible that does attach a meaning to a number is Rev. 13:18. Other than that, numbers are simply descriptive terms that tell us how many of something there were. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
