I was just thinking about the recent "signs in the sky" and checked on a Hebrew calendar and found that if you count the amount of time from when the planet Mars reached its closest that it has ever been in 60,000 years ( which also has prophetic overtones) to the Day of Atonement there are 40 days.
Now according to a pattern found within the Bible itself the number forty represent Trials and Testing.
For example:
Moses was on the mountain for forty days thus the Israelites were left alone during that time (testing)
They did not have faith so were sentenced to spend forty years in the wilderness to purge out the sin among them.
Elijah spent Forty days in Mt Horeb
Jonah preached judgment to the inhabitants of Nineveh for forty days
Ezekiel laid on his side in repentance for Israel for forty days
Jesus spent forty days of trial and testing in the wilderness
Jesus was on earth showing himself alive for forty days after the resurrection.
The temple was destroyed forty years after his ascension.
So what meaning do you think these forty days from the sign in the sky of Mars (the Roman god of WAR) and the Day of Atonement?
I know that there are many that are fasting during this time leading up to this day, in repentance.
