dot-to-dot

There were fourteen generations recorded from Abraham to David, fourteen more from David to the exile and another fourteen from the exile to Jesus (Matthew 1:1-17). So, forty-two generations in all.

Revelation 13:5 speaks of the beast being given authority for 42 months. Which is, of course, three and a half years - and you might choose to write that as "time, times and half a time" (Rev. 12:14; Dan. 12:7). It might not then surprise you to find reference to three and a half days, somewhere along the line (Rev. 12:9,11).

Just saying, that's all.
