They are depicted as both literal and metaphorical agents of devastation, often associated with God's wrath and the call for repentance.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Plague in Egypt:</b> One of the most notable mentions of locusts is in the account of the plagues of Egypt. In <a href="/exodus/10-12.htm">Exodus 10:12-15</a> , God commands Moses to stretch out his hand over Egypt so that locusts will swarm over the land and consume everything left after the hail. The passage describes the locusts as covering the ground until it was black and devouring all that was left after the previous plagues, demonstrating their role as a tool of divine judgment against Pharaoh's hardened heart.<br><br>2. <b>Judgment and Repentance:</b> In the book of Joel, locusts are used as a metaphor for an invading army and a call to repentance. <a href="/joel/1-4.htm">Joel 1:4</a> states, "What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten." This vivid imagery underscores the totality of destruction and serves as a warning to the people to return to God.<br><br>3. <b>Symbol of Destruction:</b> Locusts are also mentioned in the book of Revelation as part of the apocalyptic vision. <a href="/revelation/9-3.htm">Revelation 9:3</a> describes locusts coming out of the smoke upon the earth, given power like that of scorpions. These locusts are not ordinary insects but are symbolic of demonic forces unleashed during the end times, emphasizing their role as harbingers of divine judgment.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>In the ancient Near East, locust swarms were a well-known natural disaster, capable of devastating crops and causing famine. Their sudden appearance and overwhelming numbers made them a fitting symbol for divine intervention and punishment. The biblical portrayal of locusts reflects the historical reality of their impact on agrarian societies, where a single swarm could obliterate the food supply and lead to widespread suffering.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, locusts in the Bible serve as a reminder of God's sovereignty over creation and His ability to use natural phenomena to accomplish His purposes. They are a call to humility and repentance, urging people to recognize their dependence on God and to turn away from sin. The recurring theme of locusts as instruments of judgment highlights the seriousness of disobedience and the need for spiritual vigilance.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>While locusts are a natural part of the ecosystem, their biblical representation transcends their physical characteristics, embodying themes of judgment, repentance, and divine sovereignty. Through the imagery of locusts, the Bible communicates profound spiritual truths about the consequences of sin and the hope of restoration through repentance.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/mark/1-6.htm">Mark 1:6</a></span><br>And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/leviticus/11-22.htm">Leviticus 11:22</a></span><br>Even these of them you may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/200.htm"><span class="l">200. akris -- a locust</span></a> <br><b>...</b> locust Definition: a locust.
