Bible Numbers - Making Them Count
In my Bible reading, the number 40 seemed to pop up again and again. "That's weird," I thought. Yet I never found an adequate explanation for why that was the case. Bible studies would gloss over the number as a mere calendar entry. This short study seeks to shed some light on the use of Bible numbers from a rhetorical and theological perspective. I hope it is a blessing to you! - Pastor Craig Schill
