Locusts
'Locusts' signify falsities in the extremes, which consume the truths and goods of the church in a person. 'The locusts' which John the Baptist ate signify truths of a most common or general nature.
(Mga Sanggunian: Apocalypse Revealed 424, 430)
Psalms 104:5-10
5
He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
6
You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
7
At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
8
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
9
You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don't turn again to cover the earth.
10
He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
