Joe 1:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6–7 : The locusts are described as a strong nation, even though they are just insects. They come together like an army, and their numbers make them powerful. They have “teeth like lions” (Joel 1:6; Revelation 9:8 ), and they destroy everything in their path. They eat the vines and fig trees, stripping them bare and leaving nothing behind (Joel 1:7 ). This shows that God can use even the smallest creatures to bring down a whole nation if He wants to.
