Locust alert in Middle East as plague descends on Egypt and creates panic in Israel

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.

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

Well considering that...

1. Parshat Bo - which begins with Moses' warning to Pharaoh about the 8th plague (locusts) - was the Torah reading for January 19, 2013

And

2. The locust is the arbah (ארבה), which permutes to arh"b (ארה"ב the Hebrew abbreviation for artzot habrit/United States, equivalent of writing USA)

And

3. BO is to be in Jerusalem at the Spring equinox which this year is a few days before Pesach, and the 9th plague was the plague of darkness,

... you may be on to something.

The plague of darkness was considered to be an attack on the Egyptian sun god Ra.

Ex 10.1-4

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these my signs before him:
2. And that you may tell in the ears of your son, and of your grandson, what things I have done in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am the Lord:
3. And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus said the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me:
4. Else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow* will I bring the locusts into your border:

* January 20th?

According to the Hebrew wiki page on Ra,

רע
אל

( רַע (ידוע גם כרֶע, רה או רא

Ra (god)

Ra (also known as Re, Ra רה or Ra רא) <<<

Ra spelled resh ayin רע spells evil, but Ra is also spelled resh hei or resh alef

That said, the locust ארבה also permutes to רה בא, "Ra comes" or Ra is BO (בא, Barack Obama).

Also something along the lines of, רא בה = Ra is in her... her being ארה"ב (USA)

Backing up to the longstanding and well-deserved internet mockings, photoshops and word plays for this current POSOTUS, how peculiar is it that the same character can be Messiah, Moses, Pharaoh, and the plagues all rolled into one? And Beelzebub too (no photoshop needed). ב"א is the abbreviation for ben adam ("son of man") which is the idiom for human being.

That's the first listing on this abbreviations page. Check out the entry right below it.

The home page of the little dictionary is here. To link to the specific page above I had to escape the frames.





Something's not right with this dude.

The fact is, according to folklore, there is a specie of grasshopper that is not restricted by Jewish dietary law, that is they are kosher to eat but over time the identity of the specie was lost, forgotten.

Don’t forget his skirmishes with the rats and wasps. This man is surrounded by evil. People he visits die. Businesses he visits die. Everything he touches turns to disaster. Disasters follow him and happen shortly after he is gone. Every word he speaks is a lie. There is no goodness or truth in the man at all. He has no righteousness. He shuns HaShem and HaShem shuns him. The worst is yet to come.
Anyone who doesn’t believe in the Prophecies need to watch this man ashe fulfulls that which has not happened before. One by one, he has completed cycles we never thought to see in our lifetimes.
There have been times when he has done what seems to have been impossible. You see the world in absolute chaos with his advent.
There is no way this man should occupy the highest office in the world, yet he does and he made it look easy. He has populated his ‘office’ with evildoers and brought strange religions involving blood sacrifice into the whitehouse to defile it beyond belief.
He has called America a muslim nation thrice before the entire world, twice on foreign soil and once on US soil at a gathering of nations.
There are other signs as well. Beware this man as he has CLAIMED to be a full partner with G-d. HE has proclaimed himself a messiah, and his cultists believe. They follow without question.
The Bible says that in the Endtimes, the first and worst to suffer will be women and unborn babies. islam is anathema to women. His stance on abortion, forcing even other countries to accept it or suffer the consequences of his wrath is without question.
He raises an army right before our eyes...and we are silent. Believers are punished in subtle ways for now, but that will change and there will be no doubt.
He is trying to, and might yet succeed, in dividing Jerusalem.
As I said. The worst is yet to come.

Your entire post fits with the disaster, death, and evil of the following story. The BMW driver = Obama.

A thousand will worship the destroying locust demon, a thousand are in mourning due to abject horror committed by a destroying locust demon.

New York Police ID Suspect in Deadly Brooklyn Hit-and-Run, Hours after Baby Dies

>>>

Witnesses reported the BMW was traveling at high speed and the taxi was at a stop sign, police said.

Raizy Glauber's parents live in Williamsburg, and Nachman Glauber's parents live in Monsey, New York, home to a large community of Orthodox Jews.

The Glaubers were mourned by 1,000 people at a funeral outside the Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar synagogue in Brooklyn on Sunday. Afterward, the cars carrying the bodies left and headed to Monsey, where another service was planned, according to the Los Angeles Times.

<<<

The parallels are as clear as they are horrific. The couple was very worried because the baby seemed to have stopped moving. That's why they were on the way to the hospital.

His heart is drowning in Darkness and he loves it!

All I ever needed to know about Ubama was his relationship with Billy Ayers. The man wanted to round up and murder 30 Million People. No Different than Hitler, No different than Stalin, while that would be an insult to many, to them they take that as a complement. Because their ideological forebears loved them back in the 1930's too.

They follow without question. The Bible says that in the Endtimes, the first and worst to suffer will be women and unborn babies. islam is anathema to women. His stance on abortion, forcing even other countries to accept it or suffer the consequences of his wrath is without question. He raises an army right before our eyes...and we are silent. Believers are punished in subtle ways for now, but that will change and there will be no doubt. He is trying to, and might yet succeed, in dividing Jerusalem.

The reason why he is able to do these things with impunity is because of the lack of concern from the American People.

While we can certain blame the media for withholding information from them.

The fact is that we don't want to test our convictions in a real struggle, as long as Wal-Mart is stocked and the iPhones work, it's all Hunky Dorey.

Ubama and his ilk will inflate the currency to oblivion to keep it that way. However, someday they won't be able too! No matter how hard they try, keeping the bread and circus's flowing will become impossible.

Then the Wrath of G-d will fall on this nation. Then we will see if America can stand or fall on it's convictions.

HaShem bless you a thousand times over Mesta for posting this. Ubama is biting his thumb at G-d when it comes to Jerusalem, G-d doesn't play that Sh!t.

The media has this strange need to capture these messianic images. They did it a lot with GWB. Remember this classic?

GWB they mocked. Obama, they worship. Even on magazine covers to announce the "Second Coming".

Also, lets real quick look at Who America REJECTED and many still continue to Reject.

A modern day Ruth, woman of noble character. Sarah's own name sake Abraham's wife.

Take a look at any Sarah thread and see many FReeper's hope on the hate bandwagon.

While Ubama has a relationship with Beelzebub.

No wonder G-d's wrath is coming, look who we reject and who has made his way into all our living rooms.

The contrast is stark. Palpable. America has turned its back on goodness and light and embraces evil.

That's where this is headed. "Sudden" destruction will fall as it did upon Belshazzar and his kingdom, but the metaphorical "writing on the wall" existed for a long time before it manifested as literal writing on the wall. By the time the message was in the king's face and impossible to ignore, it was too late.

Otherwise sincere believers may scoff at these “coincidences”, but they sure are piling up, aren’t they?

I’ve read and followed all of your wonderful, informative posts. Thank you all from my heart.

Lord have mercy, the worst is yet to come. I’m praying mightily and faithfully. The shoes of Saint Peter are also empty right now...

""I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families (or tribes/nations) of the earth shall be blessed" (Genesis 12: 3). "

Look at what we have someone who's ideology calls for the extermination of 10% of the Population who is in charge.

Yet the woman who stands by Israel through thick and thin is mocked relentless, often times by her own side.

Those people get what they deserve and their fate is now their own.

How has no one connected?...

Matthew 3

Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptist) Prepares the Way
http://messianicministry.info/Yochanan.htm

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”

4 John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts (Chet Gimmel Beit Yud Men) and wild honey.

***

Right before Yeshua shows up!

And don't forget to leave the door open!
