Another Locust Plague
Timothy Birdnow
And this will hit at a time when the world economy is in the drink
thanks to the Wuhan virus. This is terrigle news. Time to pray.
Second Wave of Locusts in East Africa 20 Times Worse Says UN
From the Guardian article:
The locusts present "an extremely alarming and unprecedented threat†to food security and livelihoods, according to the UN. A swarm of just more than a third of a square mile can eat the same amount of food in one day as 35,000 people.
This second invasion from breeding grounds in Somalia includes more young adults which are especially voracious eaters.
In its latest locust watch update,
the UN said the situation was "extremely alarming†as an increasing
number of new swarms form in north and central Kenya, Ethiopia and
Somalia.
How much aid will the rest of the world be able to afford to render? How much food will be available for them? This could wind up looking like one of the plagues of Egypt.
The Jerusalem Post opines:
But what if we read them differently? What if they were
relevant for all time?
What if the water turning to blood wasn’t about blood at all? What if
it were a lesson to us – that our water can turn to blood? That it can
become undrinkable – with a virus, with chemicals, with something. That
water turning to blood is a plague that could happen to all people at
all times throughout history. That would make the Ten Plagues very
relevant and somewhat frightening.And
it seems not only that they can happen, but that they are happening.
Consider our time. The plagues start with water, but half of them are
related to animals – frogs, lice, wild beasts, cattle disease, and
locusts. Then consider bird flu, swine flu, mad cow disease corona. We
have recently been plagued with a seemingly disproportionate number
diseases coming from animals. If
that seems a stretch, we can get literal about it. Want to talk about
the plague of Locust? On March 10, 2020 BBC News declared "Hundreds of
billions of locusts are swarming through parts of East Africa and South
Asia in the worst infestation for a quarter of a century, threatening
crops and livelihoods.â€How
about arov, Wild Beasts? Since we have retreated into our homes,
wildlife all over the world have taken to our streets. Wild pigs roam
the streets of Paris; bears have been spotted in California; Thailand
has seen hundreds of screaming monkeys take over the streets. And at
least one cougar has been spotted in a town in India. That
leaves the plagues of Darkness and the Slaying of the First Born.
Darkness doesn’t seem like much of a stretch. Since all this began, my
greatest fear was that we would lose electricity. All of a sudden
people who would not normally be in their homes are all using
electricity at the same time. An overload could send us into darkness.
And our generation is particularly ill equipped to deal with that.
Things seem hard now? Imagine your kids without WiFi. Then imagine
every house dark at night. No phones and WiFi alone could cause mayhem.
Darkness for a week? Even only at night? That could plunge us into
social chaos, a real plague. Even
the slaying of the first born seems somewhat at hand. For who else is
most vulnerable now but our most elderly? Seniors are being taken in
far greater numbers than others. That
only leaves the plagues of nature disasters like hail, and it would be
hard to argue that we haven’t experienced our share of natural
disasters recently. Recent decades have seen a dramatic increase in the
frequency and intensity of natural disasters around the world on an
unprecedented scale. It
seems not only that the plagues are here, but that they are here all at
once and on a scale like we haven’t seen before to the point that for
the first time in ages, life has literally stopped.
While we often see the Plagues of Egypt as isolated events, perhaps they were part of an overarching effect? Maybe A caused B which caused C which caused D? And maybe what we are seeing now is a new Ten Plagues?
As the author points out many of these plagues were connected then and
in many ways are now. A disease from China? Disease struck down Egypt
for holding the Israelites as slaves and China holds their entire
nation - a quarter of the Earth's population - in slavery. And the rest
of us are complicit; we lust after the cheap products they sell so turn
a blind eye to what they have been doing. How is that related to the
plague? Commercial interests spread this in the first place.
Or as the Book of Revelation states
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more
Maybe this globalist system is about to crash? The merchants of the Earth would most assuredly be wailing and gnashing their teeth were that to happen.

Pleasant post! The intrigue has caused a ton of issues and has really expanded the employments of judges and courts but students can hire
writer per hour to complete their assignments. I figure we as a whole ought not require the courts to settle such cases; one must be sufficiently steadfast to keep away from this social issue.
