Question

There were 42 camps in the wilderness, 42 non-refuge Levitical cities, 42 boys mocked and threatened Elisha, there are 42 months of antichrist.

What does this mean?

According to Bullinger 42 signifies "man's opposition to God." Does that fit with those examples? I can see how that might fit, but I'm not entirely convinced. It might represent God counteracting man's opposition.
