How's it going ranger chris? Welcome to the forum. Your 40 days fasting note caught my eye. I did a three day food fast before, it got easy after the first day. I think that i shrunk my stomach. By the third day i could have gone longer. My neurotransmitters were starting to get euphoric. But even with still drinking coffee, i had no energy at all to work at anything that required much labor. And i think about Jesus fasting for forty days in the wilderness, and i think that He is a tough Guy. So i wouldn't say that Jesus' fast was not a "bona fide fast" as you have called it. From your note: It might just be the way that you have it worded. It sounds like you're saying the Holy Spirit and the angels were leading Him and ministering to Him all the while He was fasting and being tempted. I read it like the Holy Spirit led Him TO the wilderness for the purpose of this time. Like a parent dropping Him off for this event And THEN He fasted for forty days. And THEN the devil came to tempt Him. And THEN the angels ministered to Him after He successfully overcame the Tempter. Maybe the angels brought Him a sandwich and a beverage after it was over. But that was AFTER the successful completion of a "bona fide" 40 day fast and a trial by the tempter. And i wouldn't insist my understanding is best, by no means. And be of good cheer, For He has overcome the world. Peaceful Sabbath.
