The plants, the animals, the humans, all things on earth, drink its cool nurturing nectar and because they do, they live. Earth, twin to Venus, is a planet filled with life, a veritable garden of Eden, because of its water . Through Isaiah, God is telling us that His Word is as essential to the life process of this planet as is the rain which invigorates its soil, causing the planted seed to sprout and grow into the food that sustains the life of man. The hell on Venus compared to the abundant life on Earth seems to be an excellent example of that divine principle. Venus has no water - Venus is dead.
Earth has water - Earth is alive.
Any possibility of life on that planet has been poisoned by the corrosive gases and crushing weight of its atmosphere, scorched by the hellish curse of its 800 degree temperature. And so it is with man. He can exist in this world and never so much as utter the name of God. He can exist - and never let God touch his soul or warm his heart. He can exist - and never recognize God's loving touch in the face of a child or in the beauty of nature.
