Intelligence Brief
Forty days. The Bible's standard countdown timer for divine testing periods. 40 days of rain (Noah). 40 years in the wilderness. 40 days on Sinai. 40 days of Goliath's challenge. 40 days of Jesus' temptation. Now 40 days until Nineveh's destruction. The number signals: this is a test with a deadline.
