The prophet Joel scolds the Israelites after a devastating locust swarm destroys their crops and vegetation. What does this mean for us? Symbolically, locusts are the ways of the world that we allow to chew and destroy spiritual teachings, leaving us spiritually barren. Watch out for locusts!
(References: Arcana Coelestia 7643; Joel 1:2-12)
11
Behold, the days come," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh.
12
They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh, and will not find it.
13
In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
