Joel 2, Sound the Alarm teach God's word

Joel 2 1 2 3

What was spoken on Pentecost Day? Acts 2:16 This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel.

What happens just before The Lord's Day, the book of Joel tells you

Christ uses all of the nature itself, to relate something to you because you can identify with the things you can see. Meaning the Lord uses things of nature that we are familiar with, so we may understand His word. He is good to them that take's the time to study His word. He has given us the Bible and it's up to us to study and understand.

Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.

26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed.

The book of Joel tells us more about Satan's Church, the Kenites and rulers "these men are likened to locusts".

Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

Blow ye the trumpets means to Sound the Alarm, teach God's word.
What day? The Day of The Lord, which is the millennium = Bible study the Millennium
Holy mountain = Zion = Jerusalem

2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

A great people, the Satan's angels, Kenites, Satan's church and your rulers.
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 caterpiller eaten.
Satan hour is darkness = trouble
Darkness means the opposite of the truth, deception and confusing
1 King 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 9, The Appearance of Satan and the fallen angels, this Is the clouds of deceptions.
God letting you know these swarm in huge groups and they are strong.
This is a cloud of deception
Satan doesn't have any trouble finding people to follow him
A day, The End Times
Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Morning, blackness or darkness
Down or morning
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

3rd stage Cankerworm = Hebrew word for Devourer's, cankerworm = the young locusts, these are very evil, You can hear their sound all around the world, they want to take over the world. They want to bring in Satan's one world order, under one god their god. (Joel 1-3) (Revelation 13:18, Bullinger's notes.) (Daniel 11:13) Stronger army with much riches.
Satan's One World Order, who can stand against this system? Nothing shall escape them. Only God's Very Elect
You have to know God's word, if you do not know God's word you will be deceived.
Mark 13:22 For false Christ's and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads.
Them = Satan's angels
The army of deceptions will take over the world, Satan and his army, will bring in one world order.
Who is the prince of the world? Satan
How does a group of locusts attack a tree? They are loud, they leave nothing on a tree, its bare
What is the opposite of wars? Peace
4th stage Consumers = fallen angels Jude 6
Satan comes in peaceful, promising you anything if you worship him.
Satan's deception, he will pay all your bills, If you worship him
Satan's angel are the false pastors, the 4th stage comes in peaceful saying they are pastors, but are false pastor.
Once Satan get's you through deception, you have nothing.
Can you see how he deceived the world? He will give you anything to worship him.
We are going through the hardship now.
Who are these people? Kenites are Satan's seed and Satan's church they are likened to locusts.
Rev 13:2 the four world powers of the last days, Daniel 7
Let's visualize the operation of these locusts. The world is as a garden of Eden, everything green and perfect. But when the locust army roll over it, there's nothing left but waste and want.
3rd stages of the locusts = You can hear their sound all around the world, they want to take over the world. They want to bring in Satan's one world order, under one god their god.
The Garden of Eden refers to Genesis 13
Genesis 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Ezekiel 36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
A great people symbolized by the locusts, the Kenites and Satan's church
Desolate wilderness
Psalms 107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into water springs.

4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

Verse 2 tells us these are men = now horses = they are very strong
Them = men, fallen angels = Jude 6
We are seeing a clear picture of their action against the Christian nations.
We can see here they are not locusts: The appearance of them are as war horse.
Revelation 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
They were men with a gentle appearance shown by the reference to having "hair of women"
Flattery to deceive and a false gentleness. But their teachings and actions will have the same effect as a lion when it attacks
Their teeth as of lion, they will rip and tear you to pieces if you go against them.
Meaning they go the ways of the world. They pay the young teens to destroy the streets, etc..
They don't care about people. If you are in their path, they have teeth of a lions. They will tear you to pieces. They use the media.
This is happening now all over the world. Satan's one world order wants to take over
Revelation 9:And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
The breastplate is false too.
Israel's breastplate is made up as jewels.
We see yet another counterfeit.
You can hear their sounds all around the world: Peace, Peace, Peace
Their sounds are like locusts in flight give out a great sound, these supernatural creatures will appeal by the sound of their wings.
Revelation 9:17 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.
Note the fire issued from their mouths, which means lies poured forth saying their false christ is the true Messiah
Do you have ears to hear?
Study Daniel 7 = four world powers of the last days
Habakkuk 1:8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

Time to teach, Sound the Alarm
Like the noise as war horses - verse 4
Revelation 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were likened unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king (Satan) over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Abaddon = Destruction
Who is the angel of the bottom pit? Rev 20
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
This connect with the end times
On the tops = the Hebrew accents connect this with leaping, not with chariots
Leap = rattle along
As a strong people. They are the Kenites, sons of Satan

6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

Blackness means paleness
This army of deceptions will takes over
Why? People don't know what's going on, they believe Satan is God, they gather with them.
Revelation 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Fourth Seal, Joel tells us about a conspiracy against God's People, Satan's evil spirits
Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom
Pale: greenish, verdant, dun-colored, green, climate change
Verdant means lacking experience
What are these rulers saying today?
Green, green.. they use the environment to control and bring in one world order
These rulers raise taxes... which will bring in inflation..hardship.. taxation
The first beast in Revelation 13, is a politically system. They have power and are politically strong.
They are the secret councils of Kenites who give orders to USA, Russia and other world governments.
The death and famine described in this verse are the natural result of the inflation brought in by the black horse in verse 5.
The four judgments in Ezekiel 14:21 are the same as four in this verse.
In this remnant are both sons and daughters, so ladies will have a great deal to do in this.
Who is death? Satan
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
What is the sword?
God's word is a two-edged sword
Hebrew 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

His word, the truth is the two-edged sword

Babylon, which comes from the Hebrew word ''Babel'', means confusion.

This sword of truth is going to cause present day Babylon to fall.

Because a lie cannot stand in front of truth.

Satan brings in a flood of Lies, his power is in their mouth, Confusion, deceptions, lies..he will tell you anything..IF you worship him.
Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Beast of the earth are not the same as in verse 7

7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

They shall run like mighty Men, Hebrew men is enosh
They come in large groups, they're likeness to locusts.
Go back up to verse 2: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
When does this happen? Just before, the day of the Lord

8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

They shall not be wounded, Be wounded, they can not be stop
Why? These are Satan angels, they are supernatural men. Satan brings in one world order, who can stand against them? The very elect
Walk = march = as in verse 7
Nehemiah 4:10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
2 Chronicles 28:10 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
This whole scene belongs to The Day of The Lord
Only confusion arises from not keeping the symbol, distinct from what is symbolized.

9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

You can see these are men and not locusts. God's uses nature to let us see how they come
What you are seeing here is, Mark 13, Matthew 24 come to pass.
Run in the city, means they climb or enter by Propaganda. One way is through the media, another is Revolution. The overthrow of a government by those who are governed.
Rebellion, Revolution - Rebellion is open resistance to a government or authority; revolution is a rebellion that succeeds in overthrowing the government and establishing a new one.
Revolution - the overthrow of a government by those who are governed
By promising Political Progressives and Revolution is this what you want for USA?

Propaganda is one-sided communication designed to influence people's thinking and actions. A television commercial or a poster urging people to vote for a political candidate might be propaganda, depending on its method of persuasion.

(They use kids in their commercials) Have you notice every time they want to raise taxes... they use commercials for helping the kids..etc..)

These are put for the acts of men
Like a thief, A thief is a man (not an insect); so are these
How does a thief come in?
You do not know until the thief comes in, meaning it's only going to happen to the people that don't study God's word.

10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

Notice Revelation 8:2 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Darkness means opposite of the truth = deception and confusing
1 King 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
The sun and the moon shall be dark. Another proof of what is signified;
And that this prophecy concerns what is future
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
This is part and parcel of the signs of the end times. So the Father is telling us when this army of locusts ''our enemy'' comes, it is right before the final hour.
Now understand that the Father is in control: Joel 2:25 this is His army, and you should think of it in this way.
It is the negative part of His plan. He uses the Kenites to bring His people to their senses, but always remember He has placed a limit on the enemy.
He told them: touch not Mine Elect:
Revelation 9:4 it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
1 Chronicles 16:22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

Who's Army? Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
God's army, God control this army
Who can abide it? Daniel 3 God's Elect, Just like the three in the fire
Daniel 3:3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Daniel 3:19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated
Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Great refers to: Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Who can abide it? Numbers 24:22 Nevertheless the Kenites shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
Malachi 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifer of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

Turn ye means: turn ye back, or return back to the Lord
Clean out means: what men say
Study God's word not man's word
To quite up to, as in with all your heart
Hosea 14:1 O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up
Revelation 14:3 You are judge on works
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Heart = mind
Our Father is Love, If you Love Him
This is a time of testing, It you try, God's going to be with you
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Kindness means grace

14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

If' you serve God, He will be there
Jonah 3:9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not
Jonah 3:9 Return, turn away from His fierce anger, As Jonah
Where it is ascribed to ''God''.
A blessing: A new harvest
Isaiah 65:8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

A solemn assembly = A day of restraint

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

This should tell us something here: He is saying, bring the children, all of God's children
We are suppose to be a virgin, Christ returns to find his children waiting on Him.
If you worshipped Satan, you didn't wait on the Lord
He is saying, bring every living soul to the wedding.
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

Joel 1:9 The priests, the ministers of the Lord
Between means: Ezekiel 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Heathen are the nations
God never wanted the heathen to be over His people

18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

God's Loves His people
Jealous for his land, reminds us the words of ''Song of Moses'', (Revelation 15:3-4)
And sum up the object and outcome of all the events
Which make's up, The Day of The Lord

19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

Behold: to call attention to the ''blessing'' mentioned in verse 14
God's going to take care of you

20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

The Northern army, along with Russia and China, 4th stage of the locusts, Satan's angels. This is what the "locusts" of Joel 1:4 are the symbol of.
The prophet does not "forget for a moment" the locusts of Joel 1:4; but, here explains the symbol. Locusts do not come from the north.
The armies of Daniel and Revelation 9
Russia will become a world power (Revelation 13)
East sea = the Dead Sea
North = Russia
Ezekiel 47:18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
Ezekiel 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.
Hamon-gog. = the multitude of God
Ezekiel 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Chief prince of Meshech and Tubal is Russia
Deuteronomy 11:24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
Hinder in: Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Stink shall come up, referring to the destruction
Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
He the invader, Satan or king of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8
Hast done great things: he magnified himself to do great things
This is quite inapplicable to locusts

21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

Christ comes with the 7th vial
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

This is after the locust army = The Lord takes over

23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

Moderately means, easy to receive, His word
Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Former rain is the truth, the word of God. It's like a seed it has to grows in your mind. You have to study, before it will grow. It's up to God, if the seed grows.
The latter rain, is the truth in the mind, It's the knowledge of God's word, The seal of God In Your Forehead.
If you are studying, God's going to give you His word, moderately.. with understanding and wisdom.
The word month was added
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
