Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Dear Peter, I know you mean well in doing the fasting, and I am not against fasting at all. But there is one thing you ought to know about the " 40 " in many biblical passages. The number 40 was used in many passages, it is found in both the Old and the New Testaments. This number is a figurative number only, meaning to represent " a long time. " In other words, Jesus fasted " 40 days and 40 nights " really is saying, he fasted a long time both day and night. Also of note is that this distinguishes His fast as being both day and night as opposed to some types of fasts that are only day time fasts. Cleansing is good, in moderation, but there also needs to be building. It is possible to do cleansing while building, by using such things as Kombucha, and Cilantro pesto (which is raw).
