The Invasion of the Locusts Pt.4
II KINGS 24:10-11
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it. This invasion of Babylon against Jerusalem took place around 587BC and this was when the first temple that Solomon had completed around 957BC (only 370 years before), was destroyed.
The same spirits that were loosed upon these men of Babylon to destroy the Jews back then were the same ones that were loosed upon Hitler and his armies during the Second World War under the 6th trumpet.
JOEL 2:15-17 (this is at the time of the invasion of the locusts)
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people (remember that the trumpet for Israel is what gathers the people – this is WW2), sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
This is clearly speaking of the Holocaust of WW2.
LUKE 21:20
20 ¶ And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. This was when Titus came and besieged Jerusalem in 70 AD when the second temple that Herod had built for the Jews was destroyed. This was also a time of this invasion of the Locusts of what we saw in Babylon at the destruction of the first temple.
**Notice carefully - Babylon at the beginning of the Bible, Babylon in the middle of the bible, and then Babylon at the end of the bible in our day.
The Invasion of the Locusts Pt.4
(These studies are deeper studies, so we have to try to keep alert as we go along – we will try to make it as simple as we can to include all age groups)
***We know that the same Babylonian spirits that were loosed upon Nebuchadnezzar and his army that destroyed the first temple of Jerusalem in 587BC were the same spirits that came back upon Titus and his Roman Army at Jerusalem in 70AD, and these same spirits have also once again manifested themselves during the second world war with Hitler and his army against the same people of God – the Jewish nation.
But now after WW2 these spirits are not to be manifested in a natural nation and army of people against the nation of Israel anymore to that same level, but they have now gone into the religious realm of religious deception to make war against the Bride of Christ – that is the temple that they want to destroy now.
**So they have gone from Nebuchadnezzar and his army, to the Pagan Rome of Titus’s day, and now into the Papal Roman Catholic ecclesiastical realm system to try to bring a destruction of the real temple of God in this age which is the heart of man – and they have been very successful in this siege and battle because the whole world is prophesied to go into total deception – only those with the seal of God would escape this slaughter.

People look at Rome. They look at the nation of Italy. And as they look they do not realize that Rome with her strict confines where the pope has an actual area as his domain is literally a nation within a nation, and she has ambassadors and receives ambassadors. PAPAL FALSE CHRISTIAN ROME (she is even called the eternal city--how blasphemous) NOW CONTROLS BY RELIGION EVEN MORE ABLY THAN WHEN PAGAN IMPERIAL ROME CONTROLLED BY THE PURE IRON OF FORCE. Rome took on a new lease of life when Constantine joined church and state and backed the union by force. The spirit that motivated pagan Rome is the same spirit that now motivates false Christian Rome. You can see that is so because you now know that the fourth empire never went out of existence; it just changed in its outer texture.
So we see that it was Babylon at the beginning of the Bible was at the start of the gentile dispensation, and then appears again at the middle of the bible in Pagan Rome, and then appears again at the end of the bible in the Roman Catholic religious realm that is ruling the world by her false religion – all three of these Babylonian powers ruling the entire known world at their time.
REVELATION 17:3-6
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (The names of blasphemy is the organisations of Methodius, Baptist’s, Presbyterian, etc. – the daughters of their mother, the Catholic Church.)
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

***Nebuchadnezzar was the head of Gold, then the Medo-Persians were the breasts and arms of Silver, then the Grecian Empire was the belly and thighs of brass, then the Roman Empire were the legs of iron – the spirit that was in the Pagan Roman Empire is now in the denominational Roman Catholic Church Religious Empire with her harlot daughters in tow.
II KINGS 24:10-11 Opening scripture
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
**We see that this Babylonian invasion against Jerusalem was actually a locust invasion of spirits that were release again the people of God that scattered the people and destroyed the temple of God that Solomon had built. This locust invasion ate them down and destroyed their temple so there could be no worship of God, nor could they keep the feast of Passover, Pentecost, or Tabernacles – this broke off their fellowship with God.
JOEL 1:9-11
9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn. (They mourn because they couldn’t keep the feasts of the Lord because those feasts require Corn, Oil, and Wine which is what the 5 months of harvest was meant to produce – but this locust invasion had destroyed the entire season of these three harvests)
10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
JOHN 12:24 (Divert here for a bit…)
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
The natural corn of wheat is only showing us something of the real corn of wheat, because the real corn of wheat is Christ.
***So what we must understand is that the natural corn of wheat in the farmer’s field could have only ever existed because there was first a true corn of wheat that had always existed before the natural one was ever created by God. In other words, the natural corn of wheat could never have been created by God unless there was first a real one somewhere of which it was to be an expression of that real one.
JOHN 6:35
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
The real bread was Christ – he was first before the reflection of that was ever represented in the natural bread loaf.
The natural trees of the earth that give life to man by their fruit were only created because of the real tree of life that already existed previously – the real tree of life was Christ.
GENESIS 6:13-14
13 ¶ And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
To get the wood, Noah had to first cut down trees. Who was the tree that was cut down at Calvary to save the world? – It was Christ; he was the real tree that was cut down to save the world.
**All heaven and earth and creation declare the glory of the one true God.
**That is why the ark was also Christ – he was the real Ark that the one that Noah built was only patterned after.
***The real oil and the real wine is also Christ. He is the Oil (the Holy Spirit that lights up the lamp of the human heart), He is the Wine which is the stimulation of the revelation of the word, He is the Rock in a weary land that gives shade and shelter in the time of heat and storm, He is the lily of the valley, He is the bright and morning star, He is the water of life that if any man thirst he can drink of that water and never thirst again - natural water only exists because of the true water of life that existed before the first natural drop of water was ever created by God.
*He is the mighty angel that descended in Revelation 10 – all other angels are just a reflection in part of the one great and might Angel - Christ.
*Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah – He is the real Lion that the lions of the animal kingdom were made as an expression of Him. Christ was the Lamb, the dove, the eagle – all nature declares the one true God. He is so big that it takes all of these things of the entire creation to express the one God.
II KINGS 6:15-19
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see (he could see with his natural eyes – but real sight is to see with your understanding). And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
They could see perfectly well with their physical eyes, but they were blind to the understanding of who the prophet was and that is the same blindness that is on the people of this age as to who the prophet of God is in this age – so this same prophet’s ministry that open the eyes of some also blinded the understanding of many others.
***So we have said all this to show you that these Locusts that devour and devastate the land is only showing us something that is more than just these natural locusts devouring natural crops.
DEUTERONOMY 28:42
42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
**Your fruit is your offspring, your children, and your land is your dwelling place as in a spiritual state of what man was meant to dwell in regarding his relationship with God.
When Adam and Eve left the land of the Garden of Eden, that event was directly connected to their relationship with God being interrupted. That is why the Jewish people have to be back in their homeland in order for their relationship with God to be restored.
**And that is also why this message land of this hour had to be restored to us – so that we can come back into a full relationship with God again that we could never have come to if we had remained in a denominational land.
But as we learnt from the other week - the bible is showing us that you can die while in the new land if you fail to harken diligently to the word of God that is revealed to you concerning that new land.
DEUTERONOMY 11:10-11
**10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: Egypt was not so much a land that was irrigated by rain as much as it was a land that was irrigated by the Nile River by the process of man-made channels and ditches (the works and intelligence of man), that is a type of the denominations of today – man made irrigation.
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
***So God is making a contrast between the two lands of the difference of how they are irrigated, so that in the new land that they were going to possess, the control of the irrigation of this new land would not be by man-made diches but by God controlling and sending rain upon the earth in due season.
**So even if you were in the new land, you could die by God withholding the rain from your crops because you would not hearken diligently unto the voice of the God of the new land. That is why some people have died in this new land of the message of this hour – they have failed to be diligent with harkening to the voice of the Lord while in this new land.
HAGGAI 1:11
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
Without Wheat, Oil, and Wine, you could die – these harvests are all dependent on God sending the rain during the seasons of the harvest.

E-27 Now, I want you to notice. In every place before the judgment struck, there was always a supernatural thing taken place. And Noah, they come through a long time waiting. And then there appeared an Angel, a prophet, Enoch, and so forth. And supernatural signs was done. And they went in.
I want you to notice the--the bringing out the children of Israel; it was a long time, hundreds of years; nothing taken place, no supernatural since the death of Joseph, which was a type of Christ. But just before the judgment struck Egypt, when God brought His church out, there was a message, a prophet appeared, Angels appeared, supernatural signs taken place; and the children of God was issued into Goshen where they were free from the plagues before their coming out. (Notice that these locusts were not loosed upon the believers who were under the protection of this Exodus prophet’s ministry, they were in another land under a seal)
E-28 The same thing in the first coming of Christ... And before the destruction came, He told them, "Let him that's on the housetop come not down. Let him that's in the field come not to get his things, but get out of the city." That's where those Jews are. They're down in Iran now and so forth; it's turned back and coming into Jerusalem. Not these Jews that's cheats and steals and things makes up that hundred and forty-four thousand. But those true Jews down there that escaped in the days when Titus besieged the walls or besieged Jerusalem, and they went into that great destruction there, and the--Jerusalem was scattered and the Jews. They've never come together till just recently again to fulfill what God said would take place. We're on the end time, friends.
LUKE 21:20-22
20 ¶ And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. (This was when Titus came and besieged Jerusalem in 70 AD. Many thought it would be safer to be within the protection of the city walls – but the believers of Christ for that day remembered Jesus warning concerning this and fled the city in obedience to what Jesus had told them to do – that was the seal in their foreheads, it was the revelation of what they had been taught by the message of their day)
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
These Jews that had rejected the word for their day, they had rejected the forerunner of Christ (John the Baptist), and the son of man, Jesus himself – so because of that rejection, God sends the Roman locusts in the form of Titus and his armies to lay the land waist as of what we also saw at the time of when Babylon sieged Jerusalem at the first destruction of the temple.
REVELATION 9:3-5
3 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.
4 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.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
***Five months is the time from the barley and wheat harvest to the grape harvest – From Passover to Tabernacles.
***So at the time of the second Exodus which was the time of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, of when a people were being called out of their Jewish faith of their fathers to the new land of the faith of Christ, and then after the religious people of that day had rejection of the son of man ministry, these locusts were again released upon the people in the form of Titus and his armies – and they left not one green tree standing.
At the siege of Jerusalem, everything was eaten down by these Roman locusts.
The Invasion of the Locusts
Article:
The Siege of Jerusalem in the year 70 AD was the decisive event of the First Jewish–Roman War, in which the Roman army captured the city of Jerusalem and destroyed both the city and its Temple. The Roman army, led by the future Emperor Titus, with Tiberius Julius Alexander as his second-in-command, besieged and conquered the city of Jerusalem which had been controlled by Judean rebel factions since 66 AD, following the Jerusalem riots of 66, when the Judean provisional government was formed in Jerusalem.
The siege of the city began on 14 April 70 AD, three days before the beginning of Passover that year. The siege lasted for about five months; it ended in August 70 AD on Tisha B'Av with the burning and destruction of the Second Temple (Tisha B'Av in Hebrew meaning "the ninth of Av" is an annual fast day in Judaism, on which a number of disasters in Jewish history occurred, primarily the destruction of both Solomon's Temple by the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the Second Temple by the Roman Empire in Jerusalem). The Romans then entered and sacked the Lower City. The Arch of Titus, celebrating the Roman sack of Jerusalem and the Temple, still stands in Rome. The conquest of the city was complete on approximately 8 September 70 AD.
****First Nebuchadnezzar and his armies destroyed the first temple at Jerusalem in 587BC, and now Titus and his armies destroy the second temple in 70 AD, and now in 2020AD it is the Roman spirit in the religious realm of the mother or harlots that is coming against the temple of the dwelling place of God again, and you and I are that temple in this hour, and 200 million demons have been released in the ecclesiastical realm for one purpose, and that is to destroy the temple of Gods dwelling place.
**That is why the only protection in this hour is the seal of God by the sealing angel of Revelation 10:1
