In this article, we will explore Bible verses about seasons. These verses will help you get a better understanding of what scripture says about seasons. So, grab your Bible, and let’s dig in!
Times and seasons in the Bible have always been an interest to me. And to be honest to fully understand you really need to do an in-depth study. But for this post, we will be just focusing on verses on seasons.
In the King James Version, we see the word season(s) mentioned 69 times. But what I found interesting was that as I searched the Bible for these verses. I found a slew of different references for the word. Below is a list of what I found.
- Seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall
- Night seasons
- In due season or in season
- Appointed seasons
- Seasoning as in seasoning food with salt
The majority of the time the word season is to reference a specific set time or appointed time. This of course is when we can see it can mean specific times in the earth’s weather pattern changes. But a lot of these season passages allude to the seasons to which the Jewish festivals are in. It’s also important to note that in Hebrew, we see 5 Hebrew words that are translated into our English word season. This makes it harder to fully grasp what the Lord is showing us. To get a full and clear picture we need to study the topic.
If you are really wanting to dig into this topic I would highly recommend using a Strong’s Concordance and Bible dictionary. This will help with understanding the Hebrew and Greek words, but also give you some historical understanding.
For this post, I will be sharing mostly Bible verses on seasons that we think of, spring, fall, summer, and winter. I have included a few others so you can see the difference.
