Saw this on a friend's page. Had to share. Look up, day 41 is coming!
In the Bible, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.
Day 41 came and the rain stopped.
Moses committed murder & hid in the desert for 40 years.
Year 41 came, and God called him to help rescue Israel.
Moses went up on the mountain for 40 days.
On day 41, he received the Ten Commandments.
The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.
Year 41, they walked into the Promised Land.
Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days.
Day 41 came, and David slew him.
Jonah preached a message of repentance to Ninevah for 40 days.
On day 41, God stopped His plan to destroy them.
Jesus fasted and was tempted for 40 days.
Day 41, and the devil fled.
After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples for 40 days.
On day 41, He ascended into Heaven.
All this to say...don't quit. The rain will stop, the giant will fall, and you will enter your "promised land." Don't give up at 40.
41 is coming.
I turned 40 last March. Will something unfathomably awesome happen when I turn 41?! ::pondering::

Interesting.
I just meant that they all died in the wilderness. Well, except for two guys.

There's always a remnant!
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace

The remnant here is just Joshua? Caleb was the other survivor, but he wasn't an Israelite.
Also, I always thought they sent 12 spies because 12 tribes, but if one them wasn't from Israel that doesn't quite make sense. ::headscratch::
Caleb was apparently a foreign "sojournor" in Judah who noins himself to the House of Israel
Lev 19:34 You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God

PLUS the "remnant" was much larger - all the second generation of those of those in the wilderness.
