Meteorology in the Bible: 35 KJV Bible Verses

by Pamela Rose Williams · Print Print · Email Email

There seems to be a continual debate as to whether God controls the weather, especially when we see these natural catastrophes that destroy so much and kill so many. The debate need not be! The Bible is clear on weather and the study of it, which is also called meteorology. Look at what I found about meteorology in the Bible in these 35 KJV verses.

Clouds

Dew & Frost

Drought

1 Kings 8:35–36 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

Storms: Hail & Rain

Wind & Whirlwind

Genesis 8:1–3 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

Final Thoughts

Clearly the Bible is full of weather and meteorology references. We can see that God not only created the weather but even today that “He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.” (Job 37:13)
