That always reminded me of evil spirits that can recognize the sealed of God similar to here

Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know;

but who are ye?

And the not so sealed of God which have no protection from the same as shown here also

Acts 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

yes that verse has tripped up many readers . notice it was for 5 months . five months is as long as a locust lives . to come to correct understanding the locust represent humans. it means they do what they do till they die .

many think they have had higher so called learning

That's known as being a gnostic which is a fancy word for a person that follows doctrines of demons..

Some of these people worked in agriculture and they were agnostic nd did disgusting things to animals.





John the baptist ate locusts

Like as a topping for his salad?

Kinda odd my friend , seeing JESUS spoke of such a place
with eternal torments after one dies . lazarous and the rich man . And HE sure did say it
well before the second century too .
There can be a slight bit of confusion which can easily be cleared up .
In the bible hell is used interchangeably at times .
As could temptation with trials .
Hell itself is death , but the hell JESUS spoke of is an eternal place of torment , aka lake of fire .
The place all the dead when raised , who had denied JESUS , will face that place .
I think when God talked about Sheol in the old testament and if God does not change,then there's a disconnect between what he defined as Sheol in the OT,and what is now in writing in the New testament and is described as Hell.

To be attacked all you locusts.

Try to keep up man!
4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
are you declaring you don't have the seal of God ?

That all happens during the great tribulation.

I'll be dining with the Lord at the marriage supper of the Lamb during this time, not here on earth.
well than ,welcome to the tribulation ! the locust' had gotten released from captivity for well over 100 years ago . and its sounds as tho they may of stung you to the core. why you are so hateful ? ok I know its going to happen as Jesus said it would . but please stand back and look at the bigger picture . as Jesus was hated so would be his true followers be hated.

Everyone who is in Hell........who went there today..........and will go there tomorrow.........now realize 2 things.

1.) Hell is real.

2.) Once you are in Hell, you now know that Jesus is REAL.... and you KNOW you are Damaned, and there is no way out of it. You dont get a 2nd chance..

See that Torture.,????? = MENTAL Torture.... and that is before you end up in the Lake of Fire.
thanks for all your scriptural support

First of all, JWs do not follow Jesus. They don't even teach that Jesus was able to pay for your sins. You've cheapened him to only be able to pay for one mans sins- Adam and say Adam isn't forgiven. You twist Romans to try to make it say that when you physically die that you have paid for your own sins and are now sinless. That's a long way from knowing Jesus.
No one hates you locust, but we do hate what you preach because it is a lie.
Your replies aren't serious on here or the other thread. One thing that you need to understand is they play hardball on this forum and a lot of replies are not nice. I don't prefer it that way but it is what it is here. Seems most people here are unchurched and you will hear every sort of teaching and many are their very own ideas. Such is the internet..
I do know that JWs also taught for many many years that they were the locusts in Joel too. I've read that isn't true anymore- so God went and changed His mind again, huh?
So, perhaps, there is hope that maybe your birdbrained leaders will figure out that coming out of the bottomless pit released by a fallen angel to go and bring HARM to people who don't have the Holy Spirit is NOT the best way to get into the door of someone's home to sell your false 1914 gospel. Love does no harm.
Snap out of it. You are in a cult of doublespeak.

This comment is in regards to ? You don't make a lot of sense to me.
. oh BTW you have fulfilled the thing Jesus said would happen . he said his true fallowers would be hated.
I already addressed that nonsense too. Do you not read my replies? You never directly address a thing.
I spent an hour posting scriptures to you today. You ignored them all.
