"Massive Locust Swarm Blocks The Sun : Biblical Plague?"

While most of the world is busy staying home practicing social-distancing, a new wave of locusts is threatening Africa with starvation.

That's right folks--massive locust swarms, big enough to swallow New York three times over, have been ravaging the food supply of East African nations including Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Djibouti, Eritrea and several Middle Eastern countries.

"The infestation started in 2019 after a cyclone caused heavy rainfall," reports The Atlantic Black Star. "The wet landscape was a perfect spot for desert locusts to lay eggs. Normally, the locusts die off when the area becomes drier, but two more cyclones allowed them to continue to reproduce every three months."

A swarm containing 4-8 million insects can consume enough food to feed 3.5 million humans for one day. And now scientists believe a new wave of locusts, a swarm 400 times larger will hit by June. 

"East Africa already has 20 million severely food insecure people, who barely eat enough to fill their stomachs each day," according to the UN Food & Agriculture Organization (UNFAO). "This new wave of locusts poses a serious threat to food security in a region recently devastated by conflict, droughts and floods, and is now anticipating a sharp rise in novel coronavirus (Covid-19) cases."

And while famines and epidemics (among other things) are part of the End Time scenario, it's sometimes hard to reconcile these things with a loving God.

However, "God's disciplines," according to gotquestions.org, always have the goal of repentance and restoration. For instance, in 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14, God said to Solomon:

"Whenever I hold back the rain or send locusts to eat up the crops or send an epidemic on My people, if they pray to Me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous again."

A wise man once said: "Here we see God using disaster to draw His people to Himself, to bring about repentance and the desire to come to Him as children to their heavenly Father" --gotquestions.org
