Sun, snow and storms: What role does weather play in the Bible?
Written by Heartsong Live on 23rd June 2017
The UK has seen a sudden heatwave recently. Temperatures have been at unusually high levels – reportedly Wednesday was the hottest June day since the long hot summer of 1976.
While we have been frying, our minds turned to what the Bible has to say about weather – and what role it plays in scriptural stories. There is quite a lot of weather, it turns out.
Here are six times the weather was the key part of a biblical text…
Rain, Song of Songs 2: 11-13
Cloud, 1 Kings 18: 43-45
Snow, Job 6: 15-17
Storm, Jonah 1
Sun, Luke 23: 44-46
A bit of everything, Revelation 11
A detailed description for each scripture sun, snow and storms
