While the Berean Standard Bible does not use this specific form, the concept of rain is significant throughout the Scriptures, symbolizing both God's provision and His judgment.<br><br><b>Biblical Significance of Rain</b><br><br>1. <b>Provision and Blessing</b>: Rain is frequently depicted as a blessing from God, essential for agricultural prosperity and sustenance. In <a href="/deuteronomy/11-14.htm">Deuteronomy 11:14</a> , God promises the Israelites, "I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil." This verse underscores the dependence of humanity on divine provision for survival and prosperity.<br><br>2. <b>Covenant Faithfulness</b>: Rain is also a sign of God's faithfulness to His covenant with His people. In <a href="/leviticus/26-4.htm">Leviticus 26:4</a> , God assures, "I will give you rains in their season, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall bear their fruit." Here, rain is a tangible expression of God's commitment to His promises.<br><br>3. <b>Judgment and Correction</b>: Conversely, the withholding of rain is often a form of divine judgment. In <a href="/1_kings/17.htm">1 Kings 17:1</a> , Elijah declares, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word." This drought serves as a direct consequence of Israel's idolatry and disobedience, demonstrating God's power and authority over nature.<br><br>4. <b>Spiritual Symbolism</b>: Rain is also used metaphorically to describe spiritual truths. In <a href="/isaiah/55-10.htm">Isaiah 55:10-11</a> , the prophet compares God's word to rain, saying, "For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it." This passage highlights the life-giving and transformative power of God's word.<br><br>5. <b>Prayer and Intercession</b>: The Bible records instances where rain is granted in response to prayer. In <a href="/james/5-17.htm">James 5:17-18</a> , it is written, "Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops." This emphasizes the efficacy of righteous prayer and God's responsiveness to His people's petitions.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>In the agrarian societies of biblical times, rain was crucial for survival. The dependence on seasonal rains for crops and livestock made it a central concern in daily life and religious practice. The Israelites, living in a land with a climate that varied from arid to semi-arid, understood rain as a direct blessing from God, reinforcing their reliance on Him.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Rain, as depicted in the Bible, serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over creation. It illustrates His ability to provide, sustain, and discipline according to His will. The regularity and necessity of rain reflect God's ongoing care and involvement in the world, encouraging believers to trust in His provision and timing.<br><br>In summary, while the term "raineth" itself is not used in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of rain is deeply woven into the biblical narrative, symbolizing God's provision, faithfulness, judgment, and the power of His word.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/augustine/exposition_on_the_book_of_psalms/psalm_cxlviii.htm"><span class="l">Psalm CXLVIII.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> and misty atmosphere, all this he hath mentioned under the name of earth, because<br> it is very changeable and mortal; unless ye think that it <b>raineth</b> from above <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../augustine/exposition on the book of psalms/psalm cxlviii.htm</font><p><a href="/library/augustine/exposition_on_the_book_of_psalms/psalm_xi.htm"><span class="l">Psalm XI.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> But if by clouds are understood good and true prophets only; by these too it is<br> clear that God <b>raineth</b> snares upon sinners, although by them He watereth also <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/...//christianbookshelf.org/augustine/exposition on the book of psalms/psalm xi.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bevan/hymns_of_ter_steegen_and_others_second_series/marah.htm"><span class="l">Marah</span></a> <br><b>...</b> In the desert Bread He giveth,.
