Seed Time and Harvest Were Never to Cease

While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest... shall not cease. (Gen. 8: 22.)

Seed Time and Harvest Did Cease for Seven Years

And the seven years of dearth began to come.... And the famine was over all the face of the earth. (Gen. 41: 54, 56.)

For these two years hath the famine been in the land; and yet there are five years in which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. (Gen. 45: 6.)
