The locusts speak of Gods plagues in Revelation. Its only escaped by observing Colossians 3. Its my opinion that we must not look for carnal, earthly restoration in things like money and land, but instead in spiritual things. (Gods spirit shall not always strive with man Genesis 6:3) We died and were raised with Christ and our life is hidden in Christ with God, in heaven, not earth. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those
who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded
is death, but to be spiritually minded
is life and peace. Romans 8
Revelation 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.5 And they were not given
authority to kill them, but to torment them
for five months. Their torment
was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces
were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’
teeth.9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings
was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power
was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew
is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
