locust in Isaiah 33
LOH-kust
This creature shows up in Isaiah 33:4: “Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 33:4
“Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.”
What kids can learn
When you hear locust in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 33:4 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
