  Give an example from the Bible, other than the ones used in this lesson, that demonstrates the biblical authors use of geography to convey biblical wisdom.

  Isaiah 55:10-11 says,

  ““For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
  And do not return there,
  But water the earth,
  And make it bring forth and bud,
  That it may give seed to the sower
  And bread to the eater,
  So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
  It shall not return to Me void,
  But it shall accomplish what I please,
  And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

  In this passage, Isaiah talks about the weather processes of rain and snow the land experiences and what it causes to happen to the earth, and then compares that to God’s Word.

  Examples from the Bible
  Natural Geography: Jesus was in a boat sleeping, when a storm begins to rage on the sea. The passengers were afraid seeing how the winds were blowing causing the boat to toss and turn. The passengers notice that water from the sea was coming into the boat. Heavy down pour of rain. The fishermen in the sea.

  Human Geography: The travels of Ruth and Naomi. Moving from one location to another location. Customs were strange and different. Collected grains from the fields.
  David used a sling shot instead of a bow and arrow. He did not use armor for battle. He did not change his battle strategy. He used what he was familiar to him.
  The fishermen threw their nets into the sea.

  Natural Geography: Solomon’s garden for his wife. When Joshua and Caleb along with ten others visited the land of the giants, they found various kinds of fruits. They found unusual sizes of grapes, figs, and pomegranates. The “Garden of Eden” was a display of beautiful plants, trees with and without blooms. Flowering and non-flowering plants. Trees with fruits.

  The disciples were alone on their boat in the sea of Galilee. Christ walked out to them. Specific place, specific purpose for a learning lesson for the disciples.

  “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

  Jeremiah 17:7‭-‬8 ESV

  Luke 12:28 And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
