It had been an once-in-a-lifetime event! Matter of fact, nothing like this had ever happened before IN ALL THEIR HISTORY! It was a natural devastation that had a supernatural declaration attached to it! And what made it even worst, Joel stated in Joel 1:15 “the Day of the LORD is near, the day when destruction comes from the Almighty. How terrible that day will be!” In other words, the worst is yet to come! You think the
Locusts were tough; just wait and see what the LORD is gettingready to do! The Day of the LORD . . . was the decisive momentwhen God intervenes and punishes SIN once and for all . . . End-Times. Therefore, Joel used the Locust Plague as a Loud Proclamation to wake up the people and so that the people could wake up everybody else up! Since the Day of the LORD or our Day with the LORD can happen unexpectantly, Don’t Miss the Opportunity at hand!
