TSK · Joel 1:4

But if you refuse to release my people, I am going to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.

The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and settled down in all the territory of Egypt. It was very severe; there had been no locusts like them before, nor will there be such ever again.

The Curse of Reversed Status“You will take much seed to the field but gather little harvest, because locusts will consume it.

“The time will come when the land suffers from a famine, a plague, blight and disease, or a locust invasion, or when their enemy lays siege to the cities of the land, or when some other type of plague or epidemic occurs.

When I close up the sky so that it doesn’t rain, or command locusts to devour the land’s vegetation, or send a plague among my people,

He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers.

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has solemnly sworn,‘I will fill your land with enemy soldiers. They will swarm over it like locusts. They will raise up shouts of victory over it.’

I will make up for the years that the‘arbeh-locust consumed your crops– the yeleq-locust, the hasil-locust, and the gazam-locust– my great army that I sent against you.

Symbolic Visions of Judgment The Sovereign LORD showed me this: I saw him making locusts just as the crops planted late were beginning to sprout.(The crops planted late sprout after the royal harvest.)

Then I will stop the plague from ruining your crops, and the vine will not lose its fruit before harvest,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
