You still haven't answered my question: Show me one case in the Bible where 40 days and 40 nights is used figuratively. Show me one case in the Bible where years are used in a prophecy and they are figurative. Just one. It shouldn't be too hard.

Ahem. Show me one case in which it is used literally. We are discussing differences in interpretation. Your built in bias towards literalness does not put me on the defensive. I can use my built in bias to understanding this idiomatically and turn the question around.

Boy, your question has changed. In post 31600, you said "But all prophecy where time periods are used are literal." It has been shown that the weeks in Daniel are not literal weeks.

Yet you continue to press the same point. I have already shown that names for time periods are used in a non literal manner.
