Biblical TheologyAnswered
Does Isaiah 55:10 deny the water cycle?
TL;DR
Robert Sungenis answers no: Isaiah 55:10 is not teaching science. He reads it as a theological comparison, that just as rain and snow accomplish their purpose so does the Word of God, and holds the verse says nothing against natural processes.
Does Isaiah 55:10 deny the water cycle?
Answer
No, that is not the point of the passage. Isaiah is not teaching science. He is saying that just as rain and snow accomplish their purpose, so does the Word of God. The prophet is making a theological comparison, not a meteorological one. The verse teaches that God’s word always fulfills His will, not that Scripture denies natural processes.
