Locusts are people—the army of God. 🔗 https://biblestudyforlife.com/lander?oref=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F3PGPwUz

**Amos 3:7** – "Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets." (The Minor Prophets tell us what will happen in the last days.)

**The Crown of Satan – The Book of Joel – Revelation 9 – Revelation 18 – Judah, the Kenites, Nahum 3 – The Crown of Life – The Book of Joel tells us about the fallen angels and the seed of Satan: "These people are like locusts."**

God uses everyday things in the Bible as symbols or examples so that people can understand. **Genesis 3** is an example of how Satan can deceive you. If God's Word tells us to do something, do not let Satan, his seed (the sons of Cain), and the synagogue of Satan deceive you with their lies. That is why you need to know the Word and discern what is right and what is not. This chapter is about how Satan operates, using lies to deceive you—the trick of "if you let him."

**What will happen shortly before the Millennium?** The Book of Joel tells us. This locust is people—the army of God.

**Joel 2:25** – "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you."

**God's Army – The Book of Joel** tells us more about the fallen angels, the seed of Satan, the sons of Cain, and the synagogue of Satan. "These people are like locusts." The locust comes out of the ground, indicating that it operates behind closed doors. They come in groups (due to their rapid increase) and seek to destroy everything in their path.

**What will happen shortly before the Millennium?** The Book of Joel tells us.

**What was spoken about on the Day of Pentecost?** The Day of Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, which occurred on that day.

**Acts 2:16** – "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel." The Book of Joel speaks about the last days, on the eve of the Millennium—the Day of the Lord. God tells us about His Army.

**The Four Stages of the Locust Army = The 5th Trumpet, Satan's Angels (Revelation 9), and the 7th Kingdom – The Ten Kings who set up in Jerusalem – the ten toes of Daniel 2.**

**1st Stage: Palmerworm – "Judeans/Jews" = Kenites (descendants of Cain) – "gnawers" – Revelation 2:9; 3:9.**

The 1st stage of the locust comes from the underground, meaning their deeds are carried out covertly and behind closed doors—your leaders.

**Revelation 18:1-2** – "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

This system of confusion will fall. God's people will have no part in this system. The light of their truth will go out from it, giving way to unclean and evil spirits. (Revelation 17 = the woman Jezebel)

**Revelation 18:3** – "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."

All nations drank the wine of her fornication. The merchants—your leaders who are building the city today—are evil leaders, the Kenites and the synagogue of Satan. "Delicacies" = luxury. This identifies the city with the city in Revelation 17. It also implies that Babylon will become the headquarters of spiritism, a dwelling place of demons and a stronghold of every unclean spirit. These two chapters should be studied carefully, as many of the things predicted there await fulfillment in the coming evil days.

**"Crowned are Yours."** Ten men will take possession of all the languages of the nations = Revelation 13. The work is being done underground. The crowns here are the ten kings (Revelation 13). **Revelation 9** = the crowns are the fallen angels.

**Bible Study – Joel – Captains – OT:2951** (foreign origin; military governor, marshals).

**What are the rulers saying?** They want illegal immigrants to join the U.S. military. Now we know why. As President Trump said, our military will not turn against their own people. They need illegal immigrants to join the U.S. military to control the people once the One World Order of Satan arrives. Just like all these protesters... selling their souls for $15 an hour... Who is paying them to destroy our country?

**General Flynn issues an emergency warning** = All the defenders simply did not appear in a short time. There was a war in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc., against the same elements... and there were not all the defenders.

**Nahum 3:16-17** – "Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoils, and flies away. Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are."

Ten men, crowned as Yours, will take possession of all the languages of the nations = Revelation 13:1 – ten kings = Satan's crowns. The work is done underground. Captains (OT:2951 – foreign origin; military governor, marshals).

**Daniel 3 = a type of the end times = the 7th Kingdom.**

**Daniel 3:2** – "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up." (Revelation 9)

The king of the last days = the 8th king = Satan (Revelation 13 and 17). The ten kings dwelling in Jerusalem = the 7th Kingdom = their king = Satan (Revelation 13 and 17). This relates to Jeremiah 50 and Jeremiah 51, which detail the fall of Babylon.

**Evil Leaders – Revelation 9:19** – "For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."

**Isaiah 9:15-18** – "The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke."

The locusts come in groups, in large swarms, and destroy your entire harvest: this means they will come and take everything you have, leaving nothing.

**The conspiracy against the children of God:** deceiving them with lies, false doctrine, robbing people, new laws that force people to do things contrary to their religious beliefs, coronavirus vaccine mandates, fining and taxing businesses, directly shutting down their operations. We see this first stage working very hard to seize power in the U.S. and other Christian nations—the U.S. ("A nation under God, In God we trust").

**The Book of Joel warns us** about this One World political system of governance described in Joel and Revelation 13, which will take control of the monetary system and control the world until nothing remains. This political system is being established now under the rulers of the earth.

---

**2nd Stage: Locust – "Swarmer" – Grasshoppers – Imago stage.** Their sounds sound calm, but what are they doing? A day of darkness and gloom. As the seed of Satan, the sons of Cain, they have deceived the nations with lies. The conspiracy is the deception of the last days. They are almost establishing the One World Order of Satan. They are trying to control everything.

**Joel 2:2** – "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations." People = a nation, troops, or attendants.

---

**3rd Stage: Cankerworm** – Hebrew word for "Devourer." Cankerworm = young locust. This is very evil. Their sound can be heard around the world; they want to capture the world. They want to establish the One World Order of Satan, under the rule of one god—their god. (Joel 1-3; Revelation 13:18, Bullinger's notes; Daniel 11:13) – a stronger army with greater wealth.

**Nahum 3:15-16** – "There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many like the cankerworm, make thyself many like the locusts. Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoils, and flies away."

**Revolution:** (government, politics, and diplomacy) – the overthrow or rejection of a regime or political system by leaders. (In Marxist theory) – the violent and historically necessary transition from one system of production to another, such as from feudalism to capitalism. A sudden, complete, or radical change in something: a revolution in church architecture; a social revolution caused by automation. **Revolt vs. Revolution** – a revolt is open resistance to government or authority; a revolution is an uprising that succeeds in overthrowing the government and establishing a new one. **Totalitarianism** – the political idea that citizens should be completely and absolutely controlled by one party or group of people; no opposing opinions are tolerated.

**One World Order of Satan:** One World Order and globalism are the same—the belief that the governmental forces of the world should unite and focus all their power within a single authority.

---

**4th Stage: Caterpillar** – Hebrew word for "Consumers" – of Satan, with the larva stage. **The 5th Trumpet (Revelation 9)** – This has not yet occurred.

**The 5th Trumpet = Satan's Angels.**

**Revelation 9:3-4** – "And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."

**"They"** = Satan's angels. Crowns here = Greek #G206 – locust (as pointed, or as lightning on the top of vegetation). Locusts on the earth = the 4th stage of the locust in the Book of Joel and Jude 6. The smoke is the Greek word NT:2586, meaning undefined kinship; smoke came from the bottomless pit with lies, confusion, uncertainty (Revelation 9). The locusts are men—fallen angels on earth. Their power and duration: 5 months. **The 5th Trumpet = the 4th stage of the locust army: Consumers, Satan's Angels.** This has not yet occurred.

They come and say they are pastors, but they are actually false pastors of Satan. Satan and supernatural beings will call to us with the sound of their wings—false wings. They call themselves pastors, men of God, but they are false prophets (Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13).

**Jude 6** – "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

**Revelation 9:7** – "And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men."

**Revelation 9:19** – "For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."

**The 5th Trumpet = the 4th stage of the locust army: Consumers, Satan's Angels.** Satan and supernatural beings will call to us with the sound of their wings. Crowns = Satan's Angels = the 4th stage of the locust = the Caterpillar (Hebrew word for "Consumers"). Satan's angels create confusion and lies. Satan and his angels will deceive all who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

**Revelation 9:11** – "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon."

The king over them = Satan. Note that we are speaking about when Satan will be cast down. The word "Abaddon" in Hebrew means "destroying angel." It means Destroyer—Satan or the Devil. Satan comes to earth to lead his army of false religious teachers to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

**Revelation 9:10** – "And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months." Satan's angels from Jude 6, Genesis 7, Daniel 2, the 7th Kingdom. The locust army (Satan's angels) has five months here on earth.

**Evil Leaders – Isaiah 9:15-18** – "The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke."

**2 Corinthians 11:13-14** – "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

**The 5th Trumpet = fallen angels = false pastors = Revelation 9 = The Last Days.**

**Genesis 6:4** – "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

"Giants" means Nephilim (#5307), meaning "fallen" = fallen angels—they were not born of women.

**Jude 1:6** – "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

"Those days" = the days of Noah. As before, there was another invasion; the result was the same as before. Why did the flood come upon the world of the ungodly? Fallen angels fathered sons—mighty men, great in wickedness throughout the earth.

**Jude 6** – "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." These fallen angels will be destroyed at the 7th bowl of God's wrath. This is why Noah's Flood happened.

**Ephesians 6:12** – "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

**Jude 7** – "Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

"Strange flesh" = man with man.

**Romans 1:26-27** – "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet."

The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, like the sin of the angels in Genesis 6, was unnatural and violated the boundaries set by God.

**Jude 8** – "Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities." Despising dominion means going against God's plan.

**Jude 9** – "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." The devil, with whom he disputed about the body of Moses—Moses was the lawgiver, and Satan was against the law, and his seed are the Kenites.

**Jude 10** – "But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves." You have not only the natural instinct of the flesh, but also the divine nature. You have this coarse nature that belongs to heaven through the fallen angels, which in simplified form is the satanic nature. At the end of time, they will work miracles that would deceive even the elect, if they were not very careful. If you are going to study your Father's Word so as not to be deceived, it doesn't matter when they come—you are ready. Know your own nature. Know the divine nature, and also know this satanic nature. This is permitted both on earth and in heaven, and in the last days it will grow stronger.

**2 Peter 2:4-11** – "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord."

**Joel 2:2** – "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."

**Revelation 9:7-9** – "And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle."

- Crowns here = fallen angels.

- Horses symbolize strength.

- Locusts = faces of men—they are men.

- We see the power of these false teachers (locusts) as they influence Christendom, saying that Christ has returned!

- Just as Satan counterfeits the true Christ, so do these people (locusts) counterfeit.

- These people (locusts) are supernatural. They claim to be pastors, men of God, but they are false prophets.

- They had hair like women's hair—men with a gentle appearance, flattering to deceive with false softness.

- But their teachings and actions have the same effect as a lion attacking—teeth like lions, tearing you apart through deception, lies, and confusion. They don't care about people. If you get in their way—lion's teeth—they will tear you apart.

- They had breastplates like iron—another counterfeit. Israel's breastplate was made of precious stones.

- The sound of their wings—you need to listen to sounds from around the world: "Peace, peace, peace." The locust in flight makes a magnificent sound; these supernatural beings attract by the sound of their wings.

**Mark 13:20** – "And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days."

**"Bible Study for Life"** believes that daily Bible study allows the spirit to grow stronger in understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. God has told us many times: do not believe what any man may teach you unless you first verify it directly from the unchanging Word of God.
