Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse explicitly states that "every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth," which is a direct statement of destruction and does not lend itself to an argument against the theme.

Time-Bound Fulfillment

While the verse specifies durations for the rain and the remaining time before it starts, it does not explicitly state that these durations are given for the purpose of being "recognized when fulfilled" by an observer, but rather as a declaration of divine action.
