END OF THE WORLD: 'Biblical' plague of locusts in Egypt sparks apocalyptic WARNING
A LOCUST plague of “biblical proportions” headed for Egypt has sparked concern the end of the world is fast approaching, a Bible expert has shockingly warned.
Huge swarm of locusts descent on Mecca's Grand Mosque
A plague of locusts not seen since the days of the Christian Bible is spreading like wildfire through Africa, along the Red Sea coast and towards Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The incredible swarm of crop-devouring grasshoppers arrived after a period of heavy rain in October 2018 fuelled the bugs’ breeding seasons. Prominent evangelical pastor Paul Begley from West Lafayette in Indiana, US, has now warned the plague could spread to the Holy Land. In the Bible’s Book of Exodus, a plague of locusts was one the 10 punishments, which fell upon the lands of Egypt as punishment for enslaving the Jewish people.
The Book of Exodus 10:12-15 reads: "And the Lord said to Moses, 'Stretch out your hand over Egypt so that locusts swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail'.
"So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night.
"By morning the wind had brought the locusts; 14 they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers.
"Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again
They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees.

"Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt."
Today, the parallels between the biblical plague and its modern counterpart are evident, according to pastor Begley.
And if the plague does continue to spread across the Middle East, pastor Begley said it will be a prophetic sign of the approaching end times.
The firebrand preacher said: “The next three months will be crucial, critical even, in bringing the locust situation under control if it can be brought under control.
“This is a plague of locusts like we haven’t seen since the days of the Bible and if they can’t control it, it might be a sign.
“I’m gonna say I believe it is. We’re still in the 70th year of Israel as a nation.
“First of all, we had the Blood Moon over Jerusalem on July 27, 2018.
“How about this? President Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel and moved the embassy there on the 70th anniversary of Israel being a nation, May 14, 2018.
“Then you have the longest Blood Moon of the century over Israel on July 27, 2018.”
