What appears forty times in the Bible?

Answer by  tamkees (3203)

It rained 40 days and 40 nights; Noah opened a window 40 days later. Moses spent 40 days with God on Mt. Sinai. The Israelites roamed the desert eating manna for 40 years. Jonah gave the Ninevites a 40 day warning. Jesus spent 40 days being tempted in the desert and stayed on earth 40 days after his resurrection.

The number 40 is usually used to indicate that God is going to usher in a new era. For example, 40 days of rain during the time of Noah, Jesus fasted for 40 days, spies explored Canaan for 40 days, and Jonah warned Nineveh for 40 days.

A few examples are the number of days that God caused rain to fall during Noah's flood, the number of years that the Israelites wandered in the desert, the number of days Jesus fasted in the wilderness. The number forty in the Bible usually represents judgment or death.
