Did You Know?
The number 40 is used many times
in the Bible. It often means God is about to usher in a new event or era. For
instance, rain during the flood lasted 40 days, spies explored Canaan for 40
days, Jonah warned Nineveh for 40 days, and Jesus fasted in the wilderness for
40 days.
Word Study
The name Jesus
comes from the English form of the Latin name Iesus
and the Hebrew name Yeshu, which is short for Yeshua, which is the shortened form of Yehoshua
(Joshua). Jesus’ name means “Jehovah is salvation.” It is the personal name of
the LORD, a heavenly name revealed by the angel Gabriel (Mt 1:21; Lk 1:30, 31).
