The Symbolisation of Precipitation (Rain Explained)

It's finally here, OBSCENELY late (sorry folks, but better late than never I guess), it's the blog for Sunday 11th May! If you can cast your minds that far back (quite a feat, I know) we were looking at the Water Cycle and linking in the natural things with spiritual things...

We had a look at day 2 of creation...
Genisis 1:6,7

6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the water.
7. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

From this we can see that there were two seperate areas of 'water' - the sea and the clouds. The sea is often used to represent the world or the surrounding nations - for example, when jesus walked on water, he was symbolically trampling on the surrounding nations, and when Peter tried to follow him, he was distracted by the waves - i.e., the world surrounding him.
From this, we get the idea that we are part of the world, and therefore part of the sea (which is not where we want to be!). The heirs to the promises (also handily dubbed 'the good guys') are part of the waters in the sky, however. In essence there is a 'firmament' or a division between the 'bad guys' (the world) and the 'good guys'. We are trying to get up into the waters of the heavens, or the clouds. What do you need to get water from the sea to the sky? Evaporation by the sun. We can see that the sun is represented spiritually by Christ. From this, we get that we, in the sea, need to be evaporated (become seperate from the world, i.e. bad guys) to become part of the clouds (hiers to the promises, i.e. good guys), and that the only way we can hope to achieve this is by the sun (Jesus Christ)!

Apologies for any inaccuracies and any bits I might have missed out (and also my sacriligeous overuse of the words 'from this' at the beginning of sentences) - if you have anything to add to this post, correct or generally shout at me about, feel free to do so on this very blog!
