Meaning of RAIN

Palestine differed from Egypt in that its vegetation depended on rain, rather than regular irrigation. The climate of Syria and Palestine is characterized by a division of the year into rainy and dry seasons.



Palestine differed from Egypt in that its vegetation depended on rain, rather than regular irrigation. The climate of Syria and Palestine is characterized by a division of the year into rainy and dry seasons.

Towards the end of October, frequently stormy rain begins to occur at intervals, for one or several days in a row. The Bible calls this early rain (Jer. 5:24).

His Hebrew name it is "yõreh" ("the torrential one"); It inaugurated the agricultural year by sponging the soil hardened and cracked by the summer drought, and the tilling of the land could begin, followed by sowing.

Until the end of November, the average rainfall is not too high, but it increases from December to February. The latter rains (Heb. "malgõsh") are heavy showers from March to mid-April.

They are particularly appreciated, as they fall before the harvest and the long drought of the summer months. The frequent mention of early and late rains should not give the impression that they only occur around the autumn and spring equinox.

Winter itself enters fully into the rainy season, as the Hebrew poet says: “For behold, the winter is past, it is changed, the rain is gone” (Song 2:11).

Around 700 mm falls in Palestine. of water annually, while in France itself the average is 600 to 650 mm. In May the drought began and persisted until October; Not only did it not rain during these months, but there was hardly a cloud in the sky, and a storm at this time was considered a prodigy (cf. 1 Sam. 12:16-18).

The farmer was to wait patiently for God to send rain at his due time (James 5:7). Rain is a great blessing from God (Ps. 65:10-13; 68:10; Lev. 26:4; Deut. 28:12). Sometimes it is awaited with real anxiety, since its absence can mark a real punishment (Am. 4:7; Det. 28:24; 1 Kings 8:35; 17:1; Is. 5:6; Rev. 11 :6).


By promising the restoration of Israel in the land of Canaan, the Lord promises that he will once again send the early and late rains as in the past (Joel 2:23; cf. Deut. 11:14; Ezek. 34:26 ).

With respect to the cataclysm of the Flood and the rain that lasted "forty days and forty nights", it should be noted that that great universal flood was due to a sum of causes, which include the aforementioned rain ("geshem") and " "the bursting of the fountains of the great abyss."



So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.

The Determination To Serve

Oswald Chambers
The mainspring of Paul 's service is not love for men, but love for Jesus Christ. Paul's realization of how Jesus Christ had dealt with him is the secret of his determination to serve others.
No matter what sin we have committed, no matter how terrible it may be, God loves us.- Billy Graham

What God’s Love Can’t Do

Billy Graham
God cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner. The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God. This love of God can be entirely rejected. God will not force Himself upon any man against his will.
“To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge! To do the will of God is the greatest achievement.”—George W. Truett

Pure and Powerful

Zig Ziglar
Too often, we value all received messages equally. God’s Word, though, is more precious and valuable than any other message sent to us. The psalmist describes God’s message as “pure words” that are like silver processed “seven times” in the furnace.
“The only ultimate disaster that can befall us is to feel ourselves at home on this earth.”— Malcolm Muggeridge

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar
Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.
Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is Lord of life and Lord of all. - Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham
Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.
