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 way God makes sure that in Genesis He names the four rivers that came out of Eden when He was showing its location. He also used extensive geographical language when describing the New Jerusalem in Revelation 22

One that comes to mind is from the book of Revelation. John described he was on the island that is called Patmos and that he heard behind him a loud voice as of trumpet (Revelation 1:9-10).

In the book of Revelation, the final battle on this earth will take place in the valley of Jezreel at Megiddo. This is hill country in northern Israel. It will be the place where Christ has his final victory over the forces of evil here on earth.

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in Isaiah 40.22
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Palms 19: 1-14
