Did Jesus fast one day to cover each year for the sin of the tribes of Israel wandering in the Wilderness with Moses?Why did Jesus fast for 40 days in the wilderness?
The Temptation
After spending 40 days in the desert on an extended fast, Jesus was confronted by Satan who tried to cajole and bribe him into submission. After this failed, angels came and ministered to Jesus.
""Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him." (Matthew 4:11) And, "And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him." (Mark 1:13)
Were these "angels" the same "men" that appeared at the "Transfiguration" and at his ascension described above? And, did they arrive in the same bright cloud seen during that event?
