.

As I promised here are thoughts on ’40’.  It is a powerful time… 40 days, 40 years, 40, it seems some great things in history were in ’40’.

Facts:

• Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights, on two separate occasions (Exodus 24:18, 34:1 – 28), receiving God’s laws. 

• He also sent spies, for forty days, to investigate the land God promised the Israelites as an inheritance (Numbers 13:25, 14:34).

• The prophet Jonah powerfully warned ancient Nineveh, for forty days, that its destruction would come because of its many sins. 

• The prophet Ezekiel laid on His right side for 40 days to symbolize Judah’s sins (Ezekiel 4:6). 

• Elijah went 40 days without food or water at Mount Horeb. 

• God flooded the earth by having it rain for 40 days and nights (Genesis 7:12)

• Forty days after the birth, Jesus was presented to the Temple of Jerusalem for his legal purification, according to the established law.

• The 40 days of fasting of Jesus in the desert. (Mt 4,2)

• Forty days separate the Ascension of Jesus of His Resurrection. (Act 1,3)

So there you go. 40 – THIS is the best! After all the years of growing, trials, learning, etc… at 40 you Enter the Promise Land of your life!
