Joel 1:4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the
locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.
These are the four stages of the "Locust", in the Hebrew it really says:
Gnawer's remnant
Swarmer eats
Swarmer's remnant
Devourer eats
Devourers remnant
Consumer eats
I'll break it down even further:
Palmerworm is the Gnawer- Gazam in Hebrew
Locust is the Swarmer- Arbeh in Hebrew
Cankerworm is the Devourer- Yelek in Hebrew
Caterpillar is the Consumer- Hasil in Hebrew
Gazam- to rob, take violently, spoil, to devour, to cut down.
Gazar- divide, decree, snatch
Arbeh- a rapid increase (Arab)
Tsalal- rattle together, ears reddening with shame, teeth chattering, to tumble down
or sink, begin to darken or illusion.
Yelek- to lick up (like a dog)
Yalal- to utter inconsiderately, devour, to howl or howling.
Yalak- to carry or bear
Halak- toll on goods at a road, taxation.
Hasil- to eat off, consume, consumer, deficient, fail, lacking, destitute, poverty.
Now we'll put it all together, look at the world today:
Gazam- the government is robbing us and taking our spoils which we work hard for. They set decree's or
laws that we don't vote on, they divide between what is right and wrong and make us to believe that it is right
to do wrong, and they snatch all our rights away from us so eventually we will have no say in what happens
and even if we do have some say, they have brainwashed everyone in believing it is the right way. Can you
not see how much we are going astray from God, we should be consulting with Him.
Arbeh (Arab)- a rapid increase in violence, riots and cries for peace, peace around the world. They
desensitize people and most importantly our children making them believe in political correctness.
Perversion is okay and not punished to where all the perverts are coming out of the woodwork. There are so
many murderers, rapists, thieves, Anti-christians and we don't put our foot down on laws that should do away
with these type of people, not rehabilitate. Name one person that was a murderer (premeditated not self
defense), pervert, etc., who is not today, without heavy sedation. Most people are scared to do anything
because they might go to jail for defending your own children, home, or property.
Our government, education, media etc., has put forth an illusion as not to offend or they put forth their agenda
for gain. Our economy and our thoughts our sinking and beginning to be darkened.
Yelek- the government takes as much as they can just like a dog licking up something that spilled on the
floor. They are so inconsiderate how much it will cost us, because ultimately we as tax payers will pay for it.
Finally we bear the burden of all their bad decisions.
Hasil- Finally, the government consumes all the wealth and profits and tells us as consumers to spend more
that we don't have and further the problem of debt, which makes us fail as a nation. We lack the things we
used to have: a roof over our heads, employment, health care etc. It makes us destitute for relief and finally
poverty stricken, literally and spiritually. Socialism begins to creep in and our need for Government
assistance increases to the point of almost collapsing our Democracy.
UPDATE- We are right now in the stage of the "Locust" or "Swarmers" and quickly approaching the 3rd
stage which is the Cankerworm or better said "The Moth". It is true that in the Hebrew the word
"cankerworm" is "yelek" and does mean "a young locust" or "locust larvae" but recently I have dug a little
deeper and I was amazed at what I found.
I have always wondered what the Moth signified throughout the Word of God. It is written of in Hosea 5:12
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Ephraim is symbolical of the United States and of course Judah is Jerusalem but read all of chapter 5. It is
also told of by Jesus himself in Matt. 6:19-21 but in James 5 this Moth's role is revealed, it is symbolic of our
monetary system and the corruption of the men that run it.
Let's break down what the Moth is and the role that it plays.
What does a Moth eat? A Moth eats linen, wool and mainly cotton and they like dirty fabrics that have sweat
in them, the Moth larvae needs this moisture from the sweat because they do not drink water.
I have to ask another question, What is going on right now around the World with our monetary system? It is
being eaten away like a Moth that eats away at the fabric.
Our United States currency paper is composed of 75% cotton and 25% linen.
So here we have the analogy given that this Moth is destroying our money, slowly but surely the banking
system will crash as I see it and as the Word of God declares, read James 5 again and absorb it. We are
heading for some tough times but God will always take care of those who love Him and study His Word so
we have nothing to worry about. Interesting times we live in, stay focused and Watch!
