Q19: Is there a symbolic parallel between the Christ’s forty days of temptation in the desert and the forty years’ wandering of the children of Israel in the desert?
I believe so. I believe that both were a preparation for what was to come. For the nation of Israel, it was the conquering of the Promised Land. For Jesus it was a preparation for his earthly ministry and for what was to come.
