Supersized bands of locusts eating tons of crops in Oz

Posted on by elizabethprata

Luke 21:11– “and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.”

Northern New South Wales suffering from locust plague
“Surveillance aircraft have captured images of “supersized” bands of locusts in northwestern NSW that are more than three kilometres in length. NSW Primary Industries Minister Steve Whan has released the footage of the locusts near Walgett, taken during the first aerial surveillance mission of the plague season. Mr Whan said there were now 102 confirmed locust reports across NSW, with aircraft on Wednesday detecting the insects in 16 locations near Walgett. “What we’ve seen from the footage is supersized bands of locusts, more than three kilometres long, eating fodder and crops in northern NSW,” Mr Whan told reporters at NSW Parliament on Thursday. “This has confirmed our prediction that the northwest will be the first front in the battle against the locust plague. “It’s critical that we actually get on top of those locusts and spray them while they’re banding, before they actually take off.” Mr Whan said the government would target spraying on the locust bands, saying once the pests took to the wing spraying was much less effective. The government has devoted $18.5 million to tackling what experts have warned could be the worst plague in 30 years. Enough insecticide has been stocked to treat half a million hectares, while more than 50 aircraft will be on standby over the spring and summer. Spraying in the state’s northwest would begin in a couple of days, Mr Whan said. “Locusts emerge from the ground (and) it takes two-and-a-half to three weeks before they start banding together,” he said. “Once they’ve banded, and they get a bit bigger, they then take to the wing, and that’s when you get the swarms in the air. “(When they’re banded) we actually have the opportunity of a couple of weeks to spray them on the ground.” Known egg hatchings exist at Brewarrina, Bourke, Enngonia in the northwest, Nyngan in central NSW, and Wentworth in the southwest of the state, he said. “It is vitally important that we keep getting the reports in from farmers when we see them hatching,” Mr Whan said. “That’s when we know a couple of weeks later to start the surveillance.” [emphasis mine]

The above scripture from Luke (“and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines…”) is not an end time warning but a Tribulation promise. ‘Plagues and famines’ are in the same sentence phrase, and indeed those usually go together. Famine usually follows plague. Ezekiel 7:15 has the same pairing: “Outside is the sword, inside are plague and famine; those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.” Jeremiah 24:10 has the same: “I will send the sword, famine and plague against them until they are destroyed from the land I gave to them and their fathers.'” The pairing of famine and plague is seen frequently throughout the bible and accompanying those are often the word “sword,” meaning ‘war.’ War, famine, and plague always means death on a grand scale. They are three of four of God’s most severe judgments, so saith the LORD-

“For thus says the Lord GOD, “How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem: sword, famine, wild beasts and plague to cut off man and beast from it!” (Deuteronomy 32:24)

Not only the Luke verse describes what’s coming, but also Rev 6:8, and this time the fourth of the most severe judgments is included, beasts:

“I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”  (Revelation 6:8)

I do not know if the locusts in Australia are part of a normal agricultural cycle or not, but I suspect not. The Minister of Interior used the word ‘supersized’ and said they were in a war against a plague. We see that kind of language more and more lately, the problems are getting worse, bigger, and more frequent. Like birth pangs do.

Another spiral, in Australia

Posted on by elizabethprata

Still reeling from the spiral over Norway a few months ago, it seems that another one has been spotted, this time over Australia. It doesn’t look photoshopped, and the reports are from credible sources. Is it a sign? Read below the news article excerpt.

UFO spotted over eastern Australia
“People across New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT say they were startled this morning by a huge white light moving across the sky. Canberra resident James Butcher says he was driving home from a night out with his brother when they spotted the “strange spiral light in the sky”. “It had a distinct bright centre, much like a bright star, indicating an object shedding light trails, spiralling and fattening out from it,” he said. “The effect lasted only two or three minutes, moving and descending quickly out of view. “The colour was yellowish but this may have been blurred and tinted by the morning fog.” Wollongong man Eddie Wise says he also saw the light during his morning walk just before 6:00am. He says he has never seen anything like it. “It was like a yellowish, greenish light with a light spiral around it,” he said. “It sort of moved around, bobbed up and down and then it went behind a cloud. “I’m just amazed. I want to know what it was.”

Queensland sightings
“A number of people from Morayfield and Caboolture in Queensland have reported that they too saw a white light in the sky about 5:50am. “It was just the one light. I just came home from my walk and I happened to look up in the sky, and here it was racing across the sky,” Linda told 612 ABC Brisbane. “I bashed on the window for my husband to have a look and he flew out. “It was spectacular.” Linda described the light as like a lollipop swirl.”

In another news article titled “Australians surprised by bright light“,  “Early risers along Australia’s east coast have been startled by a bright spiral moving across the sky. Callers to the A-B-C say they were frightened when they saw a white light bigger than the moon moving slowly in an arc through the sky this morning. Witnesses say the spiral fell below the horizon just before six o’clock. Astronomer Simon O’Toole says there’s no need for alarm and that it was not a UFO. He says the phenomenon was probably caused by a meteor or space junk.”

Space junk?

“There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, Luke 21:25

Is it a sign? The Greek word for ‘sign’ used in Luke is miracle. Probe Ministries describes it this way: “Miracles are those acts that only God can perform; usually superseding natural laws. Baker’s Dictionary of the Bible defines a miracle as “an event in the external world brought about by the immediate agency or the simple volition of God.” It goes on to add that a miracle occurs to show that the power behind it is not limited to the laws of matter or mind as it interrupts fixed natural laws. So the term supernatural applies quite accurately. It’s very interesting that a common word used for miracle in the New Testament can also be translated “sign.” A miracle is a sign that God uses to point to Himself; the same way we follow signs to find a museum or an airport.”

I’m intrigued. A spiral….hmmm.
