Ok. What I'm about to say may be common knowledge to many of you -- I don't know where you all are coming from, so I can't say for sure. Anyways, my Biblical Literature professor said something really cool today and I felt like sharing it.
The 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness represents the 40 years the nation of Israel spent in the wilderness prior to entering Canaan. In many ways, Jesus is the "new nation" because he spent his time in the wilderness resisting temptation whereas Israel in the Old Testament constantly did wrong in God's eyes.
Do I have that right?
