Category: FUN FACTS & INFORMATION

It would appear that between Creation and Noah’s Flood the earth had perfect weather. The earth being protected by a water canape was like a green house. Perfect. Except for man. Man was wicked, evil. Far from God who created him. So bad, they not only did wickedness but thought it continually.
Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
The earth was destroyed so everything could start anew. But this time God added weather. The weather would allow God a way to reward or punish without total destruction. You can study this throughout the Old Testament (for example: Psalm 78:47-48, 105:32, 148:8). Remember, Paul admonishes:
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
STUDY – not just read! (at Paul’s time there was only the Old Testament)
And as we study, we should learn. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
It also appears that God uses the weather for His purposes even today, read Psalm 147. No! there will not be another worldwide flood.
But there are floods, storms, droughts and other calamities that should remind us that God is God and sin is sin.

1 Corinthians 16:6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
This was before Noah’s flood. NO Rain, Snow, or Hail (which came afterward).
Season means a time of year: Exodus 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
It also had to do with taste: Leviticus 2:13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
Old Testament Season references: Leviticus 23:4,26:4, Numbers 9:2-3,7, 9:13, 28:2, Deuteronomy 11:14, 16:6, 28:12,
Joshua 24:7, 2 Kings 4:16-17, 1 Chronicles 21:29, 2 Chronicles 15:3, Job 5:26, 30:17, 38:32, Psalm 1:3, 16:7, 22:2, 104:19,27, 145:15, Proverbs `15:23, Ecclesiastes 3:1, 10:17, Isaiah 50:4, Jeremiah 5:24, 33:20, Ezekiel 34:26, Daniel 2:21, 7:12, Hosea 2:9
Reading these teaches us many things. God is the Creator and Controller of all the seasons!

In the New Testament again Season is a time: Matthew 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons
And with seasoning of food: Mark 9:50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
There are 17 more references to season(s) from Matthew through Acts: Matthew 24:45, Mark 12:2, Luke 1:20, 4:13, 12:42, 13:1, 14:34, 20:10, 23:8, John 5:4,35, Acts 1:7, 13:11, 14:17, 19:22, 20:18, 24:25
