There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable. (Mark Twain)
Thinking about the musings from Day 143: The Holy Bible And Meteorology – Exodus To 2 Samuel.…
I would submit to you that once you understand what the definition of meteorology is, it is easy to spot references to this scientific field in the Holy Bible. I would further submit to you that once you recognize what to look for, these references are bountiful indeed.
In Day 142: The Holy Bible And Meteorology – Genesis To Exodus., 15 bible verses were covered that are contained in the books Genesis to Exodus.
In Day 143: The Holy Bible And Meteorology – Exodus To 2 Samuel., 14 bible verses were covered that are contained in the books Exodus to 2 Samuel.
So now, let us continue with 15 more bible verses that contain the following concept relating to the scientific study of meteorology, that can be found in the books of 1 Kings to Job:
1. 1 Kings 8:35-36 KJV:

And there you have it.
15 sets of bible verses found in 1 Kings To Job, whose focus can be considered under the scientific branch of meteorology.
While I would submit to you that these 15 bible verses help one to understand that there is a strong connection between the Holy Bible and the scientific branch of meteorology, it is possible that you may not be convinced of any connection….
Yet.
So, what are the next set of bible verses relating to the scientific field of meteorology?
That question will be answered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 15 sets of verses from today from the Holy Bible that relate to the scientific field of meteorology. Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that the verses contained in these bible verses contain any scientific relevance at all. Instead, understand that after you have read these verses, you are continuing the process of learning about the relationship between the scientific field of meteorology and the Holy Bible…perhaps without even realizing it.
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: 28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. (Job 36:27-28 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 144: The Holy Bible And Meteorology – 1 Kings To Job.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
