6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

(John 3:5‑8)
 The Lord mentions them as so many days here, rather than as forty-two months, it would seem, to mark His value for their testimony. He makes, so to speak, as much of it as He can. He does not sum it together, as when speaking of the beast (Rev. 13: 5). Lovingly he speaks of the time as days, as though He were counting them all out. (Lectures on Revelation 11:1-18 by W. Kelly)
