  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.

  The multiple events in the great story of Moses, including the Parting of the Red Sea.

  Physical geography: to understand the significance of God parting the Red Sea, to understand about the cedars of Lebanon that were required to restore the City gates of Jerusalem, to understand the places that were important in the life of Christ during passion week. To understand when the disciples set across the lake, when Jesus walked on the water to them- the distances that they had to row. To understand the mission journeys of Paul that the distances he traveled … and so many more.

  Physical geography: 1 Samuel 23:26, “Saul was going along one side of the mountain, and David and his men were on the other side, hurrying to get away from Saul.” This was the geography of the terrain at En Gedi.
  Human geography: Matthew 3:12, “His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
  Natural history: Proverbs 30:26, “hyraxes (rock badgers) are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags.”

  For physical geography, we see the storms coming over the disciples when they were in the boat in the Sea of Galilee. For human geography, we can trace the journey that Abraham took to move from Haran to Canaan. For natural history, David illustrate his thirst for God like the deer panting for water in Psalm 42.

  Genesis 10 lays out the nations which descended from Noah. The Bible names the people and the land in which they inhabit. This is a trend that continues throughout the Old Testament regarding people and the land they inhabit. Think of Abraham and the land he is promised by God, think of the lands we read about as he travels to the promised land, think of the land in which Lot settles and how the culture he chose to surround himself with, ultimately leads to the destruction of most of his family.
