1 | 40 Days | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 121532 | ||
It is not just 40 days. It is the number 40 that seems to be significant. 40 days of rain, Israelites in the wilderness 40 years, 40 years of king Saul, 40 days of Jesus in the wilderness, 40 years of Christ living on earth. You will notice that after all these 40's there is deliverence or the fulfillment of promise. Noah is delivered (the rain stopped), the Israelites go into the promised land, King David begins to reign, Jesus is ministered to, we are delivered from the bondage of sin. There are many other examples. It seemsthe the number 40 is a number of deliverence. |

Surely, you didn't mean to say that Christ lived on the earth for 40 years as everyone knows he only lived for 33 years. I do hope you're going to say it was a typo of some sort. God bless. --Rowdy |

Greetings Rowdy! Just a quick correction if I may! Scripture nevers gives an age for Christ. It is commonly believed that He was about 33 when He died, but no one really knows for sure. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

You're right of course. I guess the 33 year conclusion was probably based on historical evidence and the "approximating process" upon figuring the calender in the first couple of centuries. But surely 33 has got to be much closer than 40. I noticed now that BradK has questioned it so I'm going to let it go and let you and he deal with this controversy. I'll watch but thanks for the note. I'm a little embarrassed to admit I thought the 33 year age was based on some verses (combination of a couple) and upon trying to find it just now, I couldn't. Isn't it amazing how a thing like that almost dominates a person's composite knowledge of the Bible so much? I'm thankful I can learn something new every day. God bless you for correcting me. --Rowdy |

Greetings Rowdy! If I had to guess, I would probably say around 33 years - but no one knows for sure! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
