    Hello all,

    This question got to me this morning and I am looking for someone to help unravel the answer . If you have time answer me (why) Noah made the Arch in 40 days the rains/storm lasted for 40days the Israelites walked through the desert for 40 years the tower of barbel was built in 40 days

    Jesus Christ fasted for 40days He ascended to heaven after 40 days Easter is celebrated after 40 days. Life begins at 40. Pass mark starts at 40. Why 40?

     

    Thanks

     

     

     

    I didn’t find the right solution from the internet.

    Hi Joe,

    Here’s an article about numbers in the Bible: https://reasonsforhopejesus.com/the-meaning-of-numbers-in-the-bible/

    and another here: https://www.gotquestions.org/40-days-Bible.html

    40 is “trials, probations, and testings”
