"Latter rain" in The Bible literally refers to spring rains. "Former rain" refers to autumn rains. The terms latter and former rains are used in the King James Version of the Bible. Some newer translations, such as the New International Version, use the terms autumn (or fall) and spring rains. Much of the Bible was addressed initially to an audience living in a dry climate and heavily dependent upon agriculture. Abundant harvests require both former and latter rains. Thus, rain nearly always refers to a blessing. "Latter rain" may also have symbolic allusions depending upon the context of the passage that you are reading.
