a plague of locusts


"Joel speaks of a terrible plague of locusts ..... In its utter destruction this attack symbolizes for him the coming Day of the Lord - " a gloomy day."
But Joel brings a message of hope. If only Israel will repent and turn back to God, who is able to "tthe years the locust has eaten."
Joel paints a wonderful picture of a coming day of God's blessing, when the Spirit willbe abroad int he world."
