Not sure if this is the best place to start this conversation but we definitely have some questions pertaining to the significance of numbers in the bible. We're talking more than just the number three and seven. but for example, 40 being the number of tribulations. Noah was at sea for 40 days and 40 nights, Jonah was in the belly of the whale for 40 days and 40 nights and Jesus Himself fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.
