Truly something to chew on! Manna was certainly the typical foreshadowing of the Savior to come.
Another significant clue is that Jesus remained on earth with His apostles for 40 days after the resurrection. This seems to be a prophetic time period that is in reverse, reflected in the past:
Exodus 16:35
“And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.”
Prophetic time: a day for a year principle.
