What do you think about these locust stories? Is it a plague?

Jun 12, 2020

What happens when locusts swarm?

Locusts continue to reproduce quickly while swarming. They will consume all the food in any given area and then migrate to seek another food source. locusts can travel over one hundred kilometers in a day, meaning they can cover a lot of area.

"Locusts do not honor political boundaries and can easily invade other adjacent countries," he said.

The locusts move with the wind currents and can go back and forth between different areas. He said the current swarms moved throughout Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, and then moved up through Saudi Arabia and Yemen to Iran, Pakistan and India.

Exodus 10:15 - For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

Comment: I think it would be a very good thing to pray and ask God to spare USA from anything like this happening here.

I've been kinda concerned since I read a story recently about a million pounds of pork smuggled here, from China. President Trump stopped all shipments of meat from China; last year I think. The meat is contaminated with swine flu. We were buying their cheaper meat; and the Chinese were paying more money to buy our uninfected meat. This was written a month or so ago. I'm giving up BLT's :/ Hope Joe Biden will continue the sanctions?

I was curious if other kinds of plagues were going on besides COVID-19 you know?

Let's all get really serious about praying over our meals ok? "Bless and sanctify these gifts and make it clean to eat".

I care about you guys and gals. We have to lean into Jesus now.

Get your flu shot. It has the H1N1-2 strain that fights swine flu.

Love You, Mishael

In reply to Mishael I agree almost entirely with his arguements but I would add a caviat. I submit that the deep seated reason why the West (I particularly refer to the US and UK) have stumbled and unwitingly "engineered" their way into possibly becoming servile virtual vassel states to a burgeoning Chinese giant. China undoughtedly wishes to become the world master with its Godless religion and satanic ideology. The West must return to its root trust in the things of God and in doing so help itself by rejecting the headstrong desire of always trying to purchase the cheapest goods from abroad, predominently China, and begin to make its own goods even though initially it will cost us more. Be sure that if we allow China to master us prices of goods will rise exponentially. We will be heading for a new Dark Age as seen in the 1930's, lose our pride as once great Democratic caring countries and sink into an abbys of Godless theology. This has more than a close resemblance to Churchill's stirring speech in 1940 which inspired a nation to positive action and turn to the Lord for salvation. Surely we must do it again and very soon.
