Just a couple of observations about today's passage:
- I wonder why it was that a lot of God's judgment (whether played out in life, or alluded to in prophecies) involved locusts. Sure, they pretty much destroy everything in their path, but was there more to it than that?
- I like that Israel is being given a chance to change God's mind here (though that gets into another deeper discussion) by offering not sacrifices and actions, but a change in heart so that the other nations will not curse and disbelieve God.
- Apocalyptic prophecy. Gotta love it, even though we have no real chance of completely understanding it. But it is comforting to know that Israel was promised that God would be there completely if they would only change their hearts and line back up with Him...
