Know and Understand The GREAT SIGNIFICANCE and MEANING of The NUMBER 40 in The BIBLE, The KINGDOM OF GOD, and ALL CREATION.

The number 40 has great significance in the Bible, in a Christian Spiritual Life, and in the Kingdom of God. Forty (40) signifies the REFORMATTING and TRANSFORMATION process of a Christian's Education, Mindset, and Stature (Romans 12:2). The number 40 represents the Transition from the Basics to the Advanced Knowledge of Christ. These are in the concept of Renewal => A New Beginning. All these mean that 40 has the power to elevate us to the higher spiritual Level or Priesthood => The supernal High-Priesthood of MELCHIZEDEK. All these are achieved only via God's Everlasting Gospel of the supernal  MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM.

The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the start of the NEW BEGINNING. A Total Change and PARADIGM SHIFT => From our Earthly Beliefs and Way of Life to the HEAVENLY Way of Life and Thinking (Isaiah 55:7-9, Colossians 3:1-2)!

The NUMBER 40 IS THE PREPARATION TIME PERIOD FOR GOD'S PEOPLE TO RECEIVE & UNDERSTAND GOD'S TRUTHS

Christ stayed 40 Days on Earth after His Resurrection to prepare God's people for the coming of the Holy Spirit with the outpouring of God The Father's heavy revelations from Heaven. This is similar to what happened in the 40 years of Israelites' journey in the Wilderness (Deuteronomy 29:4-5). God's Spirit of Understanding was NOT GIVEN to God's Chosen People until AFTER 40 Years journey in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 29:4-5). 

• The LORD hath NOT given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, UNTIL THIS DAY. (Deu 29:4 KJV)

• And I have led you FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS... (Deu 29:5 KJV)

MEM: The FOUNTAIN OF MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM => THE SUPERNAL WATER THAT WILL FLOOD THE WHOLE EARTH DURING THE REIGN OF CHRIST; AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA AND OCEAN BED

Forty (40) is the numerical value of the Hebrew letter MEM, which means WATER => The Fountain of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom. This is why 40 refers both to the Torah or the Bible, which is Water, Rain, and also to the Flood. 

In the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, the Everlasting Gospel of MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM will Flood the Whole Planet Earth. At this time, the Flood will be of a positive and productive effect => The FLOOD OF THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. In other words, Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom will fill the Earth with the True Knowledge of God as the water covers the sea and ocean bed (Isaiah 11:9, Habbakuk 2:14). 

• They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the EARTH shall be FULL of the KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD, as the WATERS COVER THE SEA. (Isa 11:9 KJV)

• For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the LORD, as the WATERS COVER the SEA. (Hab 2:14 KJV)
