The 42 generations come from the genealogy of Christ as recorded in Matthew chapter one. It goes from Abraham to Jesus Christ and has 42 generations by the record of scripture itself.

We must understand, that though this genealogy is a true record, it is written to be instructive. Therefore, the facts are presented in such a way as to teach what God desires to teach. This is true in any presentation of truth. Why, then, the 42 generations? I believe it has to do with numerology. Quite often in scripture, numbers are teaching us something and their study can bring much profit. 42 is six times seven. Six is the number of man and seven is the number of completion or perfection. Matthew begins his genealogy with Abraham who received the promise and a covenant from God, counts 42 generations (7 x 6), and comes to the perfect (7) man (6) Jesus Christ.
