Podcasts about locusts

Locusts numbers are on the rise - and departments in Victoria and New South Wales have both warned landholders to be on the lookout in the Wimmera-Mallee as well as northern and western New South Wales. SA and southern Queensland are also at risk. Farmers have grave concerns that some of the most effective chemicals have either been deregistered - or are under review - and they want urgent action to clarify what to use. Rural reporter Gabrielle Hodson spoke with Andrew Weidermann from Grain Producers Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Sermon 764A: Revelation 9, the Bottomless Pit, and the Warning Against Pride Pastor Tony Alamo presents Sermon 764A, Part 1, with a prayer, hymn, and biblical teaching from Revelation 9 on the fifth angel, the bottomless pit, smoke, locusts with scorpion-like power, the judgment of the proud, the mark of the beast, Abaddon and Apollyon, repentance, salvation through Jesus Christ, and reconciliation with God. Revelation 9 and the Spiritual Danger of Pride This archival sermon, presented by Help from Christ Ministries and dated August 16, 2026, features Pastor Tony Alamo as the main speaker, Sharon providing ordering information, and brief music segments preserved as cues. The transcript notes that strong claims and controversial statements are retained as attributed sermon content rather than verified fact. Alamo begins with prayer, asking God to continue anointing him, reveal what he believes is coming, expose the beast, save souls, and break what he calls the sinful and blasphemous spirit of pride. Prayer, Humility, and “No Friend to Me Like Jesus” Alamo describes pride as the belief that human beings know more than God or possess power apart from Him. He prays that Satan will be restrained from interfering with the message and asks that listeners be led out of pride and into the Spirit of God. He then introduces a recorded hymn, identified in the transcript as “No Friend to Me Like Jesus” or a similar title. Before the music break, he says Jesus provides healing, strength, prayer, and the ability to bring others to the Lord. The Fifth Angel and the Opening of the Bottomless Pit The sermon moves into Revelation 9, beginning with the fifth angel sounding and a star falling from heaven to earth. Alamo interprets the star as a messenger or angel given the key to the bottomless pit. He reads that the angel opens the pit and smoke rises like the smoke of a great furnace, darkening the sun and air. Alamo presents this scene as divine judgment against people who, in his view, have rejected God through pride and antichrist rebellion. Locusts, Scorpion Power, and Five Months of Torment Alamo continues through the chapter's description of locusts emerging from the smoke with power like earthly scorpions. He emphasizes that they are commanded not to harm grass, trees, or green plants, but only people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. According to his reading, the locusts are not permitted to kill them, but are allowed to torment them for five months. He describes this as a warning that divine judgment is not limited to comforting images of God, but also includes punishment for blasphemy and persistent rejection. The Beast, the Mark, and the King of the Pit The sermon interprets the locusts' crowns, human-like faces, women's hair, lions' teeth, iron breastplates, chariot-like wings, and scorpion tails as signs of terrifying power and judgment. Alamo connects their crowns to the beast and argues that people who reject God have already accepted the spirit of the mark of the beast before receiving any future physical mark. He says those who belong to God will refuse a system that controls buying and selling. He then identifies the king over the locusts as the angel of the bottomless pit, called Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek. Reconciliation Through Jesus Christ After describing the first woe and warning of two more to come, Alamo says the time has come for listeners to be reconciled to God. He teaches that reconciliation happens through accepting Jesus Christ, whom he describes as God's sinless Son who died on the cross and was raised from the dead. He then leads listeners in a salvation prayer asking for mercy, forgiveness, cleansing through Christ's blood, and the indwelling presence of Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Closing Instructions and Invitation to Continue Alamo encourages listeners who prayed to raise their hands and thank God for salvation. Sharon then explains how to receive a free copy of Program 764 through the ministry's website, email address, mailing address, or telephone number. Alamo closes by identifying himself, asking listeners to return for the continuation of the Revelation teaching, and saying the next program will address what he calls the reality of Revelation chapter 11. The Help from Christ Ministries narrator ends with additional contact information.

The book of Joel begins in a year everyone in Judah would remember. Locusts had come through in wave after wave and eaten the harvest down to nothing, and the priests had no grain and no wine left to bring to the altar. Joel summons the land group by group: drunkards to wake and weep, farmers to wail over the wheat, priests to spend the night in sackcloth. Then he calls all of them to the house of the LORD to cry out. He tells them to remember this year and to make sure their grandchildren hear about it, because he has seen what the swarm points toward.  The Rev. John Lukomski, pastor emeritus and co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Joel 1:1-20. Edom stands at the crossroads and watches his brother Judah dragged off in chains, and Obadiah announces that the day of the LORD is coming for the bystander, too. Joel sees a locust swarm strip a nation bare in a single season, calls the people to rend their hearts and not their garments, and promises a Spirit poured out on all flesh. Nahum returns to Nineveh a century after Jonah's revival, and this time the superpower does not repent. Zephaniah spends two chapters on the day of wrath and then ends with the Lord singing over the people He has rescued. This series on Thy Strong Word works through these selected books of the so-called "minor" prophets verse by verse, showing how the Lord judges the nations while also keeping his promises to gather His people home.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

It's n0t too late for Israel's Jews to turn back to God and abandon the idols and other pagan deities who they have been worshipping themselves.To help them reach that decision, Hosea paints a terrifying future where Israel faces utter devastation.He then hands the baton to the prophet Joel whose predictions are even bleaker.Joel describes a catastrophic locust swarm that will decimate the land, all the more terrifying as it's uncertain whether or not he is being metaphorical.If it's powerful ,poetic pronouncements of doom that light your fire, you're in for the ride of your life.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffE: contact@whollybuyable.comX: Wholly Buyable Podcast

God's standard is perfection, and the consequence for falling short is separation from God—but the sermon emphasizes that Jesus has already paid that price on our behalf. Like Moses leading Israel out of slavery, Jesus is presented as the greater, “new Moses” who comes to set His people free. The right response isn't trying to bargain for a better deal with God, but receiving what Christ has done as ours.Using Exodus 7–10, the sermon walks through the repeated pattern of Pharaoh's stubbornness during the plagues. God sends Moses and Aaron to confront Pharaoh with a clear command: “Let my people go so they can worship me.” Each plague escalates the pressure—water to blood, frogs, lice, swarms, livestock disease, painful boils, devastating hail, locusts that strip the land, and darkness so thick it immobilizes people. Over and over, Pharaoh tries to negotiate (only certain people can go, worship here not there, make a deal and then break it), and when relief comes, he hardens again. The point is that Pharaoh is attempting the impossible: negotiating from a position of control when he isn't actually in control.The sermon highlights why God acts this way in the story: so Pharaoh, Egypt, and Israel will “know that I am Yahweh,” and so future generations will have a story to tell about God's power and deliverance. The plagues also expose the emptiness of Egypt's supposed gods (even darkness confronts Egypt's sun-god), while showing God's ability to protect His people (Goshen has light while Egypt is in darkness).The takeaway is personal: Pharaoh becomes a mirror for how people resist God—clinging to control, making half-surrenders, delaying obedience, and trying to bargain their way out of what God is calling them to do. Just as Pharaoh couldn't negotiate his way around Yahweh, we can't negotiate a “discount” into God's kingdom through performance or deals. The invitation is to stop resisting, stop bargaining, and surrender—trusting that Jesus has already done what we could not, and asking where we've been stubborn or evasive instead of simply letting go and following God's call.00:00 - Pre-sermon00:19 - Exodus series introduction01:44 - Humorous crowd engagement about modern plagues03:10 - Plagues, purpose, and Exodus study04:57 - Moses called by God to confront Pharaoh06:44 - Moses vs. Pharaoh: whose god wins?08:33 - Plague showdown incoming10:07 - First plague, hardened heart11:56 - Frogs, chaos, and a reluctant Pharaoh13:42 - Plagues of frogs and lice, Pharaoh's stubbornness15:08 - Plague patterns and God's distinction between Egypt and Goshen16:53 - Pharaoh breaks promises as plagues intensify18:46 - Plagues intensify as Pharaoh refuses to relent20:26 - Why does God allow suffering instead of acting directly?21:55 - Divine plague warning and call to repentance23:19 - Hail plague, choice, and Pharaoh's confession24:50 - Pharaoh's repeated broken promises reveal divine intent26:23 - Locusts destroy Egypt after Pharaoh refuses to respect God28:00 - Pharaoh refuses to let all Israelites go29:55 - The plague of tangible darkness30:38 - Plague of darkness defeats Egypt's top god31:48 - Pharaoh's stubbornness and fickleness33:01 - Challenging the audacity of negotiating with God33:52 - No bargaining with God35:00 - Grace replaces law-keeping as the path to God36:03 - Accepting Christ's gift of salvation37:55 - Salvation prayer and closing remarks39:30 - Post-sermon

Moses: A Journey of Faith and Liberation In this sermon, we delve into the compelling narrative of Moses and the liberation of the Hebrew people from Egyptian bondage, as recorded in the book of Exodus. This story is not just a historical account but a profound illustration of faith, obedience, and divine intervention. The Encounter at the Burning Bush Our journey begins with Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush, where he is called to lead the Israelites out of slavery. Despite his initial reluctance, Moses is convinced by God to undertake this monumental task. This pivotal moment sets the stage for the subsequent events that unfold in Exodus 5-12. Confrontation with Pharaoh Moses, along with Aaron, approaches Pharaoh with a simple request: to allow the Israelites to go into the wilderness to worship God. Pharaoh's refusal sets the stage for a series of divine interventions. Initially, Moses and Aaron warn Pharaoh that if he does not comply, God will strike them with plagues, a threat that Pharaoh dismisses. The Ten Plagues The narrative of the ten plagues is a dramatic display of God's power and a testament to His authority over creation. Each plague, from the Nile turning to blood to the death of the firstborn (detailed in Exodus 7:14-12:30), serves as a direct challenge to the Egyptian gods and Pharaoh's hardened heart. Plague of Blood: The Nile River turns to blood, showcasing God's control over life-sustaining resources. Frogs, Gnats, and Flies: These plagues disrupt daily life and highlight the nuisance and chaos that disobedience to God can bring. Livestock Disease and Boils: These afflictions demonstrate God's power over health and wealth. Hail, Locusts, and Darkness: These natural disasters emphasize God's supremacy over the natural world. Death of the Firstborn: The final and most devastating plague, leading to the liberation of the Israelites. The Passover: A Symbol of Salvation The final plague introduces the Passover, a significant event where the Israelites are instructed to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb. This act of faith ensures that the angel of death "passes over" their homes, sparing their firstborn. This event is commemorated annually by the Israelites and serves as a precursor to the Christian practice of Communion. The Last Supper: A New Covenant Fast forward 1400 years, Jesus and His disciples gather to celebrate the Passover. During this meal, Jesus reinterprets the elements of the Passover, instituting the Lord's Supper. The unleavened bread and wine now symbolize Jesus' body and blood, sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins, as described in Matthew 26:26-28. Conclusion This sermon reminds us of the power of faith and obedience in the face of adversity. The story of Moses and the Exodus is not just a tale of liberation from physical bondage but a profound spiritual liberation through Jesus Christ. As believers, we are invited to partake in the Lord's Supper, celebrating the grace and salvation offered through Jesus' sacrifice. This timeless story encourages us to trust in God's plan, remain steadfast in our faith, and celebrate the freedom we have in Christ.

“Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path.” — Joel 2:8 Locusts always keep their rank, and although their number is legion, they do not crowd upon each other, so as to throw their columns into confusion. This remarkable fact in natural history shows how thoroughly the a Lord has […]

The pop up storms will develop in the unstable air surging northward, and some rotation is possible. The storms will organize into a line later in the day and produce instances of flooding as well as straight line winds.

Hey Retro Fans!

Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary left Ireland with a one-way ticket to New York and a heart full of hope over twenty years ago. There, in Sin-é cafe, Mark honed his craft and sang alongside the best of them, including the late Jeff Buckley. Time Out NY said, “His delicate songs about love and defiance recall Richard Thompson and John Lennon.” Geary has featured on bills with musicians as diverse as Glen Hansard, John Prine, Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, Coldplay and The Frames amongst others, plus extensive headlining tours in Europe, the US and Switzerland. He has composed the full score for three films - Loggerheads (2005), Steel City (2006) and Sons of Perdition (2010) - and has had many songs featured in films and TV programmes. In 2022, he completed a sell-out month-long residency in the new Little Whelan's in Dublin where, with his band, he welcomed special guests each week and personally curated the shows. 2023 saw Geary tour the north and central regions of Italy as well as Ireland, selling out Whelan's (upstairs), Couglan's, Phil Grimes (Co. Waterford) and Castle St. (Co. Mayo). His latest album, In The Time Of Locusts, was released in February 2024, and was recorded in his cottage in the forest with the help of Ruth O' Mahony Brady, Glen Hansard, Dave Hingerty, Dave and Karl Odlum. Following his acclaimed 2024 album, In The Time of Locusts (4 stars, The Irish Times), Antebellum is an intimate six-track EP bound with tender acoustic instrumentation and the familiar warmth of Geary's sincere vocals and reflective lyricism. Recalling, vulnerability and enduring hope, the EP reflects Geary's creative response to one of Ireland's stormiest New Year's on record. He says, “I stared out to a January of rain and cold and thought, ‘I need to get back to my desk'. If I stayed watching the news, or in a cycle of streaming shows, I'd crumble. I threw out my telly and set up a writing room by my bed. Tuned all my guitars and would jump out of bed and sing. These songs are what came of it: Fear, regret, love, romance, terror, and the weather forecast.” Navigating moments of reposeful contemplation to passages of trepidation, Geary reflects on the human condition within a more concentrated run time, where each track emerges as a resonant meditation on fear, love, regret, and hope. With six studio albums, three live albums and what will be his second ever EP release with Antebellum, writing, touring and live performance remain Geary' s lifeblood. Treating Antebellum with trademark Geary honesty, his lyrics slice right through to the core, revealing a life laid bare of human emotional frailty, failed relationships, tenderness, hurt, making amends, desire and parting. His treasured guitar collection is always close at hand, each set up in a different tuning and ready to capture any emotion.

The Tribulation: Hell on Earth   Our springboard text is Revelation 6:16-17: “And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”   These words, ripped from the throats of kings and great men, rich men and chief captains, mighty men and every bondman and every free man, echo across the shattered landscape of a world in collapse.    As the sixth seal bursts open, the sky rolls up like a scroll, mountains and islands are moved out of their places, and the sun turns black as sackcloth while the moon becomes as blood.  Men do not cry out for mercy; they scream for the rocks to crush them rather than face the wrath of the Lamb. This is the Tribulation—the seven-year period of divine judgment poured out upon a Christ-rejecting world. It is hell on earth, the time of Jacob's trouble, the great tribulation spoken of by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24:21 as unparalleled in human history.    The book of Revelation, the unveiling of Jesus Christ, lays it bare in vivid, terrifying detail. We will walk through it in the exact prophetic timeline John received, seal by seal, trumpet by trumpet, bowl by bowl, pausing at the parenthetical texts the Holy Spirit inserts to show us the behind-the-scenes reality of salvation and conflict amid the judgments. After the messages to the seven churches in Revelation 1–3, John is caught up through an open door in heaven in chapter 4.        There he sees the throne of God, the four living creatures crying “Holy, holy, holy,” and the twenty-four elders casting their crowns. In chapter 5 the Lamb as it had been slain takes the seven-sealed scroll from the right hand of Him who sits on the throne. Heaven explodes in worship: “Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” Then, in chapter 6, the Lamb begins to break the seals, and hell on earth is unleashed in perfect, ordered fury. The first seal: Revelation 6:1-2. “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”  A counterfeit Christ rides forth—the Antichrist—deceiving the nations with a false peace. No arrows yet, only a bow; he conquers through diplomacy and lies before the sword is unsheathed. The world cheers a man of peace who is in reality the man of sin. The second seal: Revelation 6:3-4. “And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”    Global war erupts. The red horse rider turns the planet into a slaughterhouse. Brother against brother, nation against nation—blood flows in rivers as the false peace shatters. The third seal: Revelation 6:5-6. “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”  Famine stalks the earth. A day's wages buys only a quart of wheat or three quarts of barley—bare survival. The rich may still afford luxuries, but the masses starve while inflation and scarcity crush the poor. The fourth seal: Revelation 6:7-8. “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”  One-quarter of the world's population—billions—die in a single stroke from war, famine, plague, and wild beasts turned savage. Death rides with hell at his heels, reaping a harvest so vast the imagination recoils. The fifth seal: Revelation 6:9-11. “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”      The martyrs cry from beneath the altar, their blood crying out for vengeance. More will join them—tribulation saints slaughtered for refusing the beast. Then comes the sixth seal, and the parenthetical pause is not yet. The cosmic cataclysm of Revelation 6:12-17: earthquake so violent every mountain and island moves, sun black, moon blood-red, stars falling like untimely figs, sky rolling up like a scroll. Men of every class hide in caves and beg the rocks to fall on them—“from the wrath of the Lamb.” This is only the beginning.   Now the first major parenthetical text breaks the chronological flow in Revelation 7. While the judgments continue on earth, heaven reveals two groups preserved and saved amid the horror.    First, the 144,000 Jewish evangelists: Revelation 7:4-8. “And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”      Twelve thousand from each tribe—Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin—sealed on their foreheads with the seal of the living God.    These are not the church; they are literal Jews, protected supernaturally so they cannot be harmed by the coming trumpet and bowl judgments. They become the greatest missionary force in history, preaching the everlasting gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people while the world burns.   Because of their fearless proclamation—and the ministry of the two witnesses yet to come—an innumerable multitude is saved. Revelation 7:9-17: “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands… These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”      Millions upon millions—Gentiles from every corner of the globe—turn to Christ during this hellish time. They endure hunger, thirst, scorching heat, and persecution, yet they stand before the throne, palms waving, singing of salvation. The 144,000 Jewish evangelists and the two witnesses are the instruments God uses to reap this vast harvest even as wrath falls. The seventh seal brings silence in heaven for half an hour—Revelation 8:1—then the seven trumpets. The first four are ecological and cosmic disasters affecting one-third of the earth. First trumpet: Revelation 8:7. “The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.” Burning hail and blood rain down; one-third of the planet's vegetation is incinerated.   Second trumpet: Revelation 8:8-9. A burning mountain—perhaps a meteor or volcano—plunges into the sea. One-third of the sea turns to blood, one-third of sea creatures die, one-third of ships are destroyed. Oceans become graveyards. Third trumpet: Revelation 8:10-11. A star named Wormwood falls on one-third of the rivers and springs. Waters turn bitter; “many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.”   Fourth trumpet: Revelation 8:12. One-third of the sun, moon, and stars are struck. The day and night lose one-third of their light. Darkness deepens over the planet.   Then an angel flies through heaven crying, “Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!” The three woes are announced.   The fifth trumpet—first woe—Revelation 9:1-12. A star falls, given the key to the bottomless pit. Smoke darkens the sun and air. Locusts pour out—demonic hordes with the power of scorpions. They do not touch grass or trees or those sealed by God, but only the unsealed men. “And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.”    Picture it: locusts shaped like battle horses, crowned like gold, faces of men, hair of women, teeth of lions, iron breastplates, wings roaring like chariots, tails with scorpion stings. For five long months men are stung again and again. The agony is unbearable—burning, electric torment that drives them mad. They claw at their flesh, beg for death, but death refuses to come. This is hell on earth, demonic torture let loose by divine permission. Their king is Abaddon—Apollyon—the destroyer. The sixth trumpet—second woe—Revelation 9:13-21. Four angels bound at the Euphrates are loosed for a precise hour, day, month, and year. An army of two hundred million horsemen is released. “And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed…” Fire, smoke, brimstone, and serpent-like tails with heads that wound. One-third of surviving mankind is slaughtered.  Yet the rest “repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood… Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” Even after billions dead, hearts remain stone.   Now the second major parenthetical section: Revelation 10 and 11.  A mighty angel with a rainbow crown and feet like pillars of fire stands on sea and land, holding a little open book. John eats it—sweet as honey in the mouth, bitter in the belly.    He is told he must prophesy again. Then the temple is measured; the outer court is given to the Gentiles for forty-two months. And the two witnesses appear: Revelation 11:3-12. “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies.”      They shut heaven so no rain falls, turn waters to blood, and smite the earth with plagues as often as they will. For 1,260 days they torment the beast's kingdom. Then the beast from the bottomless pit kills them. Their bodies lie in the street of the great city for three and a half days while the world rejoices and sends gifts. But suddenly breath enters them; they stand on their feet. A voice from heaven calls, “Come up hither,” and they ascend in a cloud while their enemies watch. A great earthquake follows, killing seven thousand. The two witnesses—likely Enoch and Elijah or Moses and Elijah—preach, perform miracles, and add to the harvest of souls alongside the 144,000.   The seventh trumpet sounds: Revelation 11:15. “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Heaven rejoices, but the third woe is still to come in full force.   Revelation 12–14 forms the third great parenthetical block, filling in the cosmic and earthly drama. A woman clothed with the sun gives birth to a man child who is caught up to God's throne.    The red dragon—Satan—is cast out of heaven with his angels. “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”    He persecutes the woman (Israel) who flees to the wilderness for 1,260 days. Then the beast rises from the sea—Revelation 13—the Antichrist, empowered by the dragon, with a healed deadly wound that causes the world to worship him. He blasphemes God for forty-two months and makes war on the saints.    The second beast—the false prophet—rises from the earth, performs miracles, makes fire come down from heaven, and forces the world to worship the image of the beast. He causes all to receive a mark in the right hand or forehead—the mark of the beast, 666—without which no one can buy or sell. Those who refuse it are beheaded.   Yet amid this, the 144,000 stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion in Revelation 14:1-5, singing a new song no one else can learn—virgins, firstfruits, without guile.    Three angels fly through heaven: one preaches the everlasting gospel, another announces Babylon's fall, the third warns with the most terrifying words in Scripture: “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark… The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever.”    Then the harvest of the earth—both the reaping of the saved and the grapes of wrath trodden outside the city until blood flows to the horse bridles for two hundred miles. Finally the seven bowls—the last plagues, in which the wrath of God is filled up—Revelation 15–16. These are poured out rapidly, one after another, more intense than anything before. First bowl: Revelation 16:2. Noisome and grievous sores break out on everyone who has the mark of the beast and worships his image.    Open, festering ulcers cover their bodies; they cannot sit, cannot lie down, cannot escape the burning pain.   Second bowl: Revelation 16:3. The sea becomes as the blood of a dead man; every living soul in the sea dies. The oceans are one vast, stinking cemetery of rotting flesh.   Third bowl: Revelation 16:4-7. Rivers and fountains turn to blood. The angel of the waters declares it just: “For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.” Fourth bowl: Revelation 16:8-9. The sun is given power to scorch men with fire. Men are burned with fierce heat. Instead of repenting, they blaspheme the name of God “and they repented not to give him glory.”   Fifth bowl: Revelation 16:10-11. The seat of the beast is plunged into darkness. Men gnaw their tongues for pain from the sores and the darkness, yet “they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”     Sixth bowl: Revelation 16:12-16. The great river Euphrates is dried up, preparing the way for the kings of the east. Unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouths of the dragon, beast, and false prophet—demonic miracle-workers gathering the armies of the world to Armageddon for the battle of the great day of God Almighty.   Seventh bowl: Revelation 16:17-21. “It is done.” Voices, thunders, lightnings, the greatest earthquake in history. Every island flees, mountains disappear. The great city is divided into three parts; the cities of the nations fall.    Babylon is remembered before God to receive the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. And “there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent”—one hundred pounds of ice falling from the sky. Men blaspheme God because the plague of the hail is exceeding great.   Revelation 17–18 details the fall of Babylon the great—the religious and commercial system that intoxicated the nations with her fornication and persecuted the saints.      She is made desolate, naked, eaten, and burned with fire by the ten kings who once supported her. The merchants of the earth weep over her in one hour her riches are destroyed.   All of this is the Tribulation—hell on earth. One-quarter of mankind dead at the fourth seal, another third at the sixth trumpet, billions more from famine, plague, hail, scorching, demonic torment, and war.        Yet through it all, the 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists and the two witnesses proclaim the gospel, and a great multitude no man can number is saved out of the great tribulation, washing their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. Most harden their hearts, refusing to repent even as they gnaw their tongues and scream under the hailstones. The wrath of the Lamb is poured out without mixture—pure, undiluted, terrifying justice.   The Tribulation ends with the return of the King in Revelation 19. Heaven opens; the white horse rider—Faithful and True—comes with the armies of heaven to tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. The beast and false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire. Satan is bound. The thousand-year reign begins. But the question remains from our springboard text: “Who shall be able to stand?” Only those whose robes are washed in the blood of the Lamb. The Tribulation is coming. It is the time of God's wrath poured out on a world that has rejected His Son.    Yet even in the darkest hour, grace abounds for those who will call upon the name of the Lord. The 144,000 will preach, the two witnesses will testify, and multitudes will be saved. But for those who take the mark and worship the beast, there is only fire and brimstone forever.   This is the Tribulation. This is hell on earth. May we heed the warning and be found among those who stand before the throne, palms in hand, singing the song of Moses and the Lamb.

Revelation 9:7-11 The terror of the locusts...Support the show

Moses confronts Pharoah and proclaims, “Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, ‘Let my people go, that they may serve me.” Each time Moses confronts Pharoah, he promises a plague from God almighty against the false gods of Egypt. Each time Pharoah resists and hardens his heart. In this message, we examine plague #5 (Death of the livestock), plague #6 (Skin boils), plague #7 (Firey Hail), plague #8 (Locusts) and plague #9 (Darkness). Finally, we set the stage for the last and final plague, the Death of the Firstborn.

Join George and Elle as they explore the text of Narrative Numbers chapter 13 Part II!Have questions for our next mailbox episode? Send them to textinus@gmail.com

Pharaoh said, "I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go." He was about to receive a masterclass in who Jehovah really is. But the real question isn't whether Pharaoh would let go—it's whether we are willing to let go of our own "Egypt." Summary: In this episode, we dive into the heart of the Exodus story (chapters 7–13). We move beyond the cinematic spectacles to find the deep, personal doctrine of repentance and redemption hidden within the plagues and the Passover. The War of the Gods: We analyze how each of the ten plagues was a specific "judgment against all the gods of Egypt," proving that Jehovah stands supreme over the Nile, the sun, and even life itself. The Hardening of the Heart: We clarify the JST corrections to the text—God didn't take away Pharaoh's agency; Pharaoh hardened his own heart, choosing pride over the "finger of God." Pharaoh's "Negotiations": We look at the four ways Pharaoh tried to compromise with Moses—and why "partial obedience" is just another form of bondage. The Passover Lamb: We explore the meticulous requirements of the Passover and how every element—the unblemished lamb, the bitter herbs, and the blood on the doorposts—points directly to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Leaving Egypt for Good: We discuss the importance of not "leaving a forwarding address" for our sins. True deliverance requires us to go into the wilderness with no intention of looking back. Call-to-Action: Are there "shallow promises" you've made to the Lord that you keep falling back on when the pressure is off? How can the "Blood of the Lamb" help you fully exit your Egypt this week? Let's talk about it in the comments. To stay "Unshaken" as we cross the Red Sea next week, please like, subscribe, and share this video!

Today on The Gist, ExxonMobil Chief Economist Tyler Goodspeed discusses his new book, Recession: The Real Reasons Economies Shrink and What to Do About It. Goodspeed argues that we fundamentally misunderstand economic busts. Because we are "pattern-seeking mammals," we try to frame recessions as the inevitable, moral punishments for greedy economic booms. But historically, economic downturns are actually driven by random, unpredictable shocks—from the 2001 dot-com bust to a literal plague of locusts in the 1870s. Plus, breaking down the recent federal court ruling striking down Donald Trump's executive order aimed at defunding NPR, and the painful irony of winning a First Amendment battle while still losing the cash.

If unexpected wars and oil shocks have been big features of recent history, so too are economic recessions – another downturn perhaps ahead in 2026. Tyler Goodspeed, a former Hoover Institution fellow and author of the forthcoming book, Recession: The Real Reasons Economies Shrink and What To Do About It, joins GoodFellows regulars Sir Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster for a tutorial on economic conditions and lessons past and present. After that: The three fellows discuss the latest in the Iran conflict including the feasibility of a peace agreement by week's end as demanded by President Trump, the odds of land forces entering the equation in the near future, plus possible economic hardship ahead should the fighting linger. Finally, in the “lightning round”: why the late Stanford biologist Paul Erlich was so amiss in predicting a doomed planet (not unlike climate alarmists) and H.R.'s favorite Chuck Norris jokes in honor of the recent passing of the famed Hollywood tough guy.      Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

Gary Brown is a former attorney and CPA who ditched billable hours for buildings, turning a brotherly townhouse-flipping side hustle into Furnished Quarters, one of the largest corporate housing providers in the U.S. He leads a service-first operation across major markets like New York, Boston/Cambridge, and the Bay Area, blending tech, design, and a very real "stuff breaks at 3am" mindset. Susan and Gary talk about service, standards, and survival stories. • Why corporate housing is hospitality first and real estate second • Service recovery that actually keeps clients calm when everything goes sideways • Move-in magic that prevents the "week one complaint festival" • Inspection systems that catch tiny problems before guests do • Communication rhythms that build trust when lights go out or floods happen • Setting expectations for big-city living without scaring people off • Relationship selling that lands major accounts and keeps the pipeline moving • Conference strategy that works pre-event, not just at the cocktail hour *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Corporate housing succeeds or fails on service, not real estate. While the apartment itself is the barrier to entry, Gary is clear that it represents only a small fraction of what defines a great stay. The real differentiator is hospitality-level service: constant communication, fast problem resolution, and setting expectations when things inevitably go wrong. Corporate housing, in his view, should be run like a 24/7 hospitality operation, not a passive real estate business. 2. The first day of a stay determines everything that follows. Move-in is the most critical moment in the guest experience. Furnished Quarters invests heavily in inspections, buffer days between stays, detailed arrival instructions, and proactive outreach after arrival. Many complaints can be avoided entirely by over-preparing for that first impression and by addressing small issues before they turn into frustration. 3. Strong relationships and preparedness outperform tactics in sales and growth. Whether discussing conferences, entertainment clients, or long-term partnerships, Gary emphasizes that success comes from relationship selling and advance work. Deals are rarely made by chance. They are built through consistent presence, pre-scheduled meetings, local involvement, and long-term commitment to the market. This same mindset applies operationally when things go wrong: recovery and trust-building matter more than perfection.

The threat the Chinese Communist Party poses not just to us, but the whole world is truly catastrophic. For example, China expert Gordon Chang recently illuminated the CCP's global predations via immense, and often illegal, fishing operations. Notably, he reports Communist China has fifty-setven thousand industrial fishing vessels that have over two recent years fished in the waters of more than ninety countries for more than twenty-two million hours. Mr. Chang concludes that “thanks to Chinese illegal fishing and other factors, the seas have been stripped bare,” citing an expert as estimating that ninety-three percent of the world's major fish stocks are either fully exploited, overexploited, or significantly depleted. Such “locusts” of the seas imperil billions worldwide, as does the Chinese Communist Party that weaponizes them.  This is Frank Gaffney.

We hope all our Creeps and Peeper are also unsettled by our tales this week. Dan starts off in  North Carolina with a story about a man who tried to transform into an actual demon. And some think he was, in a way, successful. Then, his second tale is the story of some of the residents of a housing development outside of Houston, built on a forgotten cemetery, who claim that the spirits of those whose remains were disrespected were both awakened and angered by the destruction of their final resting place. Lynze has three stories today! Her first also takes us to Texas where a strange situation occurs with a neighbor. Then, a woman traveling alone has the creepiest taxi ride to her hotel. Lastly, a young boy runs into the former owner of his Grandmother's home. Scared To Death Merch: Exciting new merch is up in the store!

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
