Restoring What the Locust Has Eaten

 Feb 2, 2026: "I will restore to you the years the locust has eaten." - Joel 2:25 | Someone else posted this verse with a beautiful graphic background and I loved it because of the vivid favorite colors, but mostly I loved it because this verse came to mind this morning. Immediately I wondered how could God do this for me? And just as immediately the Holy Spirit reminded me of many years-old writings that I have run across in the past week.

Those writings were seen by very few people. From the first year of my return to faith in 1983 I have written about what God was showing me. I had no outlet for others to read, so I wrote for myself not worrying about publishing what I wrote. Later I discovered the beginning stages of the internet. Before social media there was written exchanges on what was known as Bulletin Boards. I did a lot of writing there. Between that and social media, I have probably lost more of my writings than I saved to my document files. Water under the bridge.

I still have so much writing squirreled away in document files it hardly matters. And as I read them today, some things that I saw through the glass darkly in 2004 have become glaringly obvious to me in 2026. I had considered all those writings and biblical studies dead and buried in my files. They might as well have been eaten by locust because I never thought I would be worthwhile to resurrect them! But as I have read some, I see they are still useful to speak to people today.

It is clear to me that I will be resurrecting old writings that still speak, or ever that help clarify what is going on today. I have already decided to develop a couple of new platforms specifically for my writings. The chief goal is to reach Christians who haven't been interested in the past. I have one message but it can target different audiences. The writings will target mostly those Christians who haven't been interested in the past. I believe the time is coming that they are going to finally be able to hear. And for some others, the message will expand their view of what it means to support Israel's spiritual restoration.

Why the Church and the Israeli Messianic Jews are coming together like never before. It's because it is in God's vision and timing ... and the clock is ticking. Are you still standing on the outside of that?
