Isn't that what christians call the day Jesus rose from the dead? I don't undestand the link to the Q posts. One is about the 2020 election and the other is about your body's genetic instructions and the war to capture, catalog, and tweak them remotely.
The day Jesus rose from the grave would be called the resurrection. Which is technically “easter”. Even tho many call it resurrection day. The ascension would be like 40 days after the resurrection. The moment Jesus ascended into Heaven before the apostles very eyes. Amazing. “Good Friday” would be the day Jesus was crucified.
So like Good Friday, three days later, resurrection, 40 days later, ascension.
Noah's ark survived a 40-day flood. After which, the crows were released, and a dove sent to find land three times.
400 biblical years from Noah to the time of Abraham.
Moses fasted on the Mount for 40 days, at the end of which, he received the two tablets. When he broke the tablets in his anger towards the faithlessness of the people, he had to fast another 40 days.
And when the people fell into disbelief and lacked faith, they had to wander in the wilderness for 40 ̶d̶a̶y̶s̶ years.
All this after 400 years of slavery in Egypt. Why? Because Abraham failed to execute the offering properly.
Three periods of 40 years each, for the three generations of kings: Saul, David, Solomon.
400 years from the time of the Prophet Malachi until Jesus was born.
When John the Baptist at first recognized Jesus Christ but then immediately refused to follow and work with him (John never sent even one disciple to follow Jesus, let alone ever worked with him or preached about him after initially receiving Heaven's revelation), Jesus went directly into the desert and fasted. For 40 days.
So then, yeah, after 3 years of public ministry, suffering crucifixion, and resurrecting from the dead, Jesus was active on Earth with the disciples for 40 days, after which he ascended into heaven.
The number 40 generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation.
Something interesting about the 40 day flood is that the number 40 in Hebrew is mem (ם). Mem is believed to derive from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water, which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for "water", mem (𐤌), ultimately coming from Proto-Semitic *may-.
Exactly, it's been my experience that God communicates to those who know Him in different ways. For me it has been numbers and patterns, which are rampant throughout the Bible as you just described with 40's. You will see 12's, 7's(perfection), 3's etc.
I've always found it fascinating that the element Carbon (the building block of life). has 6 protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of man is 666, some would seem a strange coincidence, which I attribute to His divine providence.
Of course there has to be discernment used, as you can get carried away, but like I said I just think this is another way the Lord reveals himself too us. To me it's like seeing thousands of pieces (which I just don't have the comprehension to complete the puzzle) but nonetheless some come together and give me a glimpse of something infinity greater than myself. Praise the Lord!
Ah yeah. There's other numbers as well that God seems to like using for certain things. I used to be really into the Bible codes when I was first waking up. It's truly amazing what's in there
Andrew was originally a follower of John the Baptist and it is widely speculated that the Apostle John was also.
Edit: John the Baptizer was sent to prepare the way for Jesus, additionally, John refused to baptize Jesus at first because he didn't think he was worthy to baptize the Messiah. John said that he should be baptized by Jesus instead. He also continued to send people to Jesus throughout the rest of his ministry before he was beheaded
There has been many discussions over which day…Passover, before, after, etc. Here is a write up about this. It’s a interesting read. Personally I don’t stand on a certain time and stuff. So I agree with your statement and with the apostle(s) like John. As several apostles wrote about this.
Passover and the Day of Preparation:
Passover is a Jewish holiday commemorating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt. The Day of Preparation is the day before Passover, when people would prepare for the feast.
Synoptic Gospels:
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke suggest Jesus died on the Day of Preparation (Passover). They describe Jesus celebrating the Last Supper with his disciples on the eve of Passover, and then being crucified the next day, which was also Passover.
John's Gospel:
John's Gospel implies that Jesus died on the day before Passover (the Day of Preparation), making the day after Passover a Sabbath. This Sabbath, according to John, was a "high day" Sabbath, referring to the special Sabbath that coincides with the Passover feast.
Good Friday:
The tradition of observing Good Friday as the day of Jesus's crucifixion developed later. It aligns with the synoptic Gospels' timeline of Jesus dying on the Day of Preparation and being buried before the Sabbath.
Possible Discrepancies:
There are slight differences in the timelines presented by the different Gospels, which is why there's some debate about the exact day of the crucifixion. Some scholars suggest it was a Thursday, while others maintain it was a Friday. However, the consensus is that Jesus died on or around the time of Passover.
And to make it even harder traditionally the Jewish calendar didn't start until the Harvest of the first fruits and that varies from year to year. But I agree with you that the week Jesus was crucified was a high Sabbath and that gives you three complete days in the grave. A lot of people always say how is Friday to Sunday 3 days but if there was a high Sabbath that week then it's perfectly feasible. Thank you for the thoughtful response! Have a blessed day!

Ohhhh ok thanks. I got my Biblical wires crossed there for a moment
Notice something here.
Noah's ark survived a 40-day flood. After which, the crows were released, and a dove sent to find land three times.
400 biblical years from Noah to the time of Abraham.
Moses fasted on the Mount for 40 days, at the end of which, he received the two tablets. When he broke the tablets in his anger towards the faithlessness of the people, he had to fast another 40 days.

That's a lot of forties.
But, I'm sure its all just a coincidence.

Something interesting about the 40 day flood is that the number 40 in Hebrew is mem (ם). Mem is believed to derive from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water, which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for "water", mem (𐤌), ultimately coming from Proto-Semitic *may-.

Not arguing, just adding: The reserection of Christ was on Passover and the Feast of First Fruits.
