The "day of darkness" in #Joe 2:2 caused by clouds of locusts, is a symbol of the obscurity which overhangs all divine proceedings. "Works of darkness" are impure actions.
Revelation 9:
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
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.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
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.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 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.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
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.
I stopped to watch a old movie and after awhile I ask out loud speaking to Yahshua." Why am I watching this?" It was about locust in apart. And at once it came to me!
The False Prophets are gathering for the swarm!
Do you understand what he's showing me? I stopped watching the movie, I knew I had what Father wanted me to understand!
I did a bit of research on locust and scorpions after that! The simularity the Father showed me between the Locust and the False Prophets there popping out as I read!
In Arabic, the word for locust translates as "teeth of the wind," an appropriate phrase for an insect that destroys virtually everything in its path.
and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Ga 5:15
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
Now Who's this verse of biting talking about? Christians! Do they have the wind? The spirit? Yes. Can they still bite? Ya! But they wont bite if they obey the holy spirit!
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 desert locust is one of about a dozen species of grasshoppers known as locusts which, unlike other grasshoppers, are able to change their behaviour in response to population density and to form swarms that can migrate over large distances.
Ps 106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
These locust live in the desert. Isnt that where some christians are? If you live in the desert. a Dry place.... A place demons roam! Then your arnt in the Promised land! You maybe Baptised in the spirit and still not be filled with the spirit, Or led by the spirit. Some wind is carrying them but whos wind ? Apollyon! The spirit of antichrist!
crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron;
These verses show us they are Men they are kings, Hair like woman, which means the fair, kind the meek in appearance BUT They have teeth that bite and devour each other! They are Priest! Who wore the breastplates? Priests!
Ps 107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Ex 28:4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
