Job 38:28-30


28 Hath [yesh] the rain [matar] a father ['ab]? or who hath begotten [yalad] the drops ['egel] of dew [tal]?
29 Out of whose womb [beten] came [yatsa'] the ice [qerach]? and the hoary frost [kaphowr] of heaven [shamayim], who hath gendered [yalad] it?
30 The waters [mayim] are hid [chaba'] as with a stone ['eben], and the face [paniym] of the deep [tahowm] is frozen [lakad]. KJV-Interlinear



28 'Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? 29 'From whose womb has come the ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth? 30 'Water becomes hard like stone, And the surface of the deep is imprisoned. NASB


Do the rain and dew have some form of father? Does the ice have some form of mother?

Is there some form of begetting or bearing found in the formation of the various weather components?

And the answer to these questions is, 'No.'

There is no method in science, in nature, in history, and especially in evolution (for this is what is in view here), that came together either by chance or by accident, which produced the various effects of the weather around us.

There is no big bang, no natural phenomena, nothing except the absolute will of God, which brought anything, especially the weather, into being.

Man did not cause the weather. Man does not have any impact on the weather. And this point is important here. Man cannot alter the weather in any way whatsoever.

The things that alter weather are earthquakes, volcanoes, solar sun activity, and such things. Mans obsession on his contribution to the planets climate, is absolutely ludicrous. Even most studies in our current day, show that mans contribution to the planets climate is well under one or two percent, and that is a cumulative guesstimate number from centuries of human history.

Even the past year has ended up being one of the coldest of years for the past century. Totally different from what folks expected. And yet the media and consensus of the day is that the planet is headed for a warming to the detriment of us all. If it is stated often enough, then it must be true. If people hear it often enough, then they have a tendency to believe it without proof.

But such is the nature of people who cannot discern between fact and propaganda. Such is the nature of people who lack Bible doctrine. And I know that there will most likely be those who disagree with me, and that is fine, too. But how is it that in the Tribulation, which is still future, that all forms of weather will be occurring at once?

The whole point of this chapter is that God controls the weather, not chance, not activity of nature, not the activity of man, not some other created or accidental force.

We already know that God does not do things by chance or through spontaneity of emotion. Everything in history is by design and related to attitude toward Him.
