Israel's Agriculture Ministry set up an emergency hotline and task force

The swarm is estimated to be made up of 30million insects

The infestation has been devastating crops in Egypt ahead of Passover

As swarms of locust devour Egyptian crops, the Middle East is bracing for the destructive bugs to migrate their way ahead of the Passover holiday.

A swarm of an estimated 30million insects has been devastating crops in Egypt, fuelling apocalyptic fears because of the infestation’s proximity to the Bible story of Passover in which a swarm of locusts, the eighth of ten plagues, is imposed on Egyptians by God for enslaving and abusing ancient Hebrews.

Israel’s Agriculture Ministry set up an emergency hotline today and urged residents to be vigilant in reporting sightings of the insects to prevent an outbreak.

A special task force has also been set up to help farmers manage infestations.

The locusts pass through the country as part of their normal migration from north east Sudan to Saudi Arabia, the Egyptian Agriculture Ministry said, emphasising that Egypt was just ‘a transfer station’ for the locusts, which were in larger numbers this year.

The drought continues in our western US states, too. Many good families have been robbed of all of their properties in schemes by others (mostly originally from the northeast, some from the northeast then California) positioned in authority and claiming animal worship and environmentalism.

See Isa. 19. The God of Israel loves Egypt. He will strike them, but it will be in love.

And then he will raise up Egypt to be part of the kingdom of the Messiah, Egypt, Israel and Assyria(Kurdistan today).

This can't be, glowbull warming PREVENTS locust swarming.

Well, if this is true, somebody will have to update the growbull warming list, adding near the "locust plagues suppressed", that in addition to that, "locust plagues not suppressed".

This year the swarm is greater in number than normal. Wonder if they'll be entering Israel around the same time PharObama is.

I know, but for most people.

"IIRR, they taste like chicken."

I read they can also taste like shrimp.

Hope they aren't in Chicken McNuggets or shrimp cocktail....or maybe I do hope they are!

Someone should superimpose a photo of Obama speechifying and a swarm of locusts.
