Meteorology – The atmosphere and its phenomena and especially with weather and weather forecasting.
Haggai 1:11 To Acts 27:11-15.
From where we stand the rain seems random. If we could stand somewhere else, we would see the order in it. (Tony Hillerman)
As I began the process of researching, writing and putting together SURTSMeteorology, I realized that there were dozens of bible verses that someway…somehow…mentions directly or indirectly, items that qualify under the scientific study of meteorology.
Are there bible verses relating to meteorology in Haggai 1:11 To Acts 27:11-15 that I may have missed? Maybe. What I did discover while putting this section of SURTSScience – Meteorology together is the fact that the Holy Bible has plenty to say about the science of meteorology. In fact, there are so many bible verses relating to the study of meteorology, SURTSMeteorology had to be divided up into 6 sections:
Genesis 7:12 To 2 Samuel 21:1;
1 Kings 8:35-36 To Job 38:1-2;
Job 38:22-23 To Ecclesiastes 11:3-4;
Haggai 1:11 To Acts 27:11-15 and;
Acts 27:16-10 To Revelation 16:21
For this section of SURTSMeteorology…Isaiah 4:6 To Nahum 1:3, I would ask that you consider the following…
For a book that is not intended to be a book on science, let alone meteorology, it is quite amazing, not only on the amount of science that is in there, but the validity of the references regarding meteorology, that are in there.
Based on the evidence presented, I would submit to you there is absolutely nowhere in the Bible where the meteorology topics are unfounded. I would also submit to you that there is nowhere in the Bible where any scientific discovery since the Bible was put together, has yet to be proven false, regarding meteorology.
What is truly amazing is the fact that many of the facts above were already in the Bible before man and his science…and meteorology, ‘discovered’ them. In multiple cases, by hundreds or thousands of years.
What other religious book has this record?
The point is this:
While the Holy Bible is of course a religious book first and foremost, clearly, it is much more than that.

The wind shows us how close to the edge we are. (Joan Didion)

2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. (Matthew 16:2-4 KJV)

96. John 18:18:
What fire does not destroy, it hardens. (Oscar Wilde)
18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. (John 18:18 KJV)

98. Acts 27:1-5:
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor. (Oliver Wendell Homes Sr.)
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band. 2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. (Acts 44:1-5 KJV)
99. Acts 27:6-10:
If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else. (Yogi Berra)
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. (Acts 44:6-10 KJV)
100. Acts 27:11-15:
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. (William Arthur Ward)
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. 13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. 14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. (Acts 44:11-15 KJV)
And there you have it.
20 sets of bible verses found in Haggai 1:11 To Acts 27:11-15, whose focus can be considered under the scientific branch of meteorology.
If one of these verses is read independently, then it is possible to assume the reader may not come to this conclusion:
While the Holy Bible is of course a religious themed book first and foremost, clearly, it is much more than that.
I would submit to you that in regards to the Holy Bible and the scientific field of meteorology…
The reliability is more than coincidence.
