Bible-like plague: 'Billions' of locusts in swarms the size of cities 'eating everything in sight'
World Net Daily ^ | 1/29/2020 | WND Staff

Billions of locusts, in swarms the size of cities, are eating "everything in sight" in East Africa, and experts fear the plague could get "500 times" worse.

The ZeroHedge blog reported "ravenous locust swarms that are 'the size of cities' are consuming crops at a staggering pace, and this could potentially cause famine on the African continent that is unlike anything we have ever seen before."

Al Jazeera previously reported locusts "dense clouds of the ravenous insects, each of which consumes its own weight in food every day" that have spread from Ethiopia and Somalia into Kenya.

"The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization estimated one swarm in Kenya at around 2,400 square kilometers (about 930 square miles) – an area almost the size of Moscow – meaning it could contain up to 200 billion locusts," the report said.

“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.”

Yeah, but this is happening in Africa, so it is just a regular occurrence. There are diseases without names in Africa.

Yes. In the last days, vegetarians will starve because the cows, pigs and chickens will eat all the plant life. No one will figure out a solution.

Now you’re talking!

And I’m not big on eating bugs, but I’m not going to sit around and starve, either.

This is what happens to populations who haven’t figured out how to synthesize pesticides.

Or perhaps import some Seagulls to help out.
