"Scripture's Illumination Of Information” Series

f. Ecclesiastes 11:3 “When the clouds are heavy, the rain come down.” NLT

People who lived 2500 years ago had no understanding of the cycles of weather; called hydrological cycles, that govern evaporation, cloud formation, thunder and lightning.

Throughout history, most people lives far from the oceans and had no understanding of the great oceans that cover over 70 % of the earth.

Ecclesiastes 1:7 “All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place from which the rivers come, there they return again.”

Job 37:16 “Do you understand how He balances the clouds with wonderful perfection?” NLT

g. Ecclesiastes 1:6 “The wind goes towards the south and returns around to the north…”

Do you realize that king Solomon just describes a very complex circular wind pattern that determines the weather throughout the earth?

Job 28:24-26

This statement is amazing because Meteorologists at the University of Arizona did not know that the weights of the wind and water greatly determine weather patterns until 1945.

h. Psalm 8:8 “The birds of the air and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.”

King David is mentioning the huge currents that drive the oceans around the world. How would he know that in every ocean is a current that is driven by extremely deep under currents?

Take the massive Gulf Stream in the south; this huge stream of underwater current is 5,000 times larger than the Mississippi River. This underway pathway is what warms most of the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1996 CNN did a special on the recent discovery of a massive pathway of water flowing beneath the Pacific Ocean. This path that the ocean takes warms all of the pacific and creates massive underwater storms that help to keep the ocean from becoming stagnant.

Job 38:16 “Have you entered the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in search of the depth?”

Job is mentioning that huge fresh water springs feed into the oceans around the world!

Psalm 104:24 “O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all.”
