1. New Article.
Joel-1.
Who was Joel?
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/joel/joel1.html
Extract:
In chapter 2 Joel continues to speak of the plague but conflates it with an invasion of foreigners, or several invasions taking place one after the other, just like the Locusts. We have spoken several times of the Prophets using events happening in their own times, or personal experiences, to arouse their Prophetic Senses and extrapolate into the future.
"Prophecy that was needed for the future, was written down. Prophecy that was not needed was not written" (Talmud, Megilla, 14;a).
It may be that in the time of Joel there was a plague of locusts. This caused Joel to predict that near the End Times the Land of Israel, or of America, or of part of the other Israelite Lands would be overrun by alien heathens, arriving in wave after wave.

# 7. Are Locusts Kosher?
Certain types of grasshopper or locusts are permitted as food by the Torah.
Leviticus (NASB) 11:
20 ALL THE WINGED INSECTS THAT WALK ON ALL FOURS ARE DETESTABLE TO YOU. 21 YET THESE YOU MAY EAT AMONG ALL THE WINGED INSECTS THAT WALK ON ALL FOURS: THOSE WHICH HAVE JOINTED LEGS ABOVE THEIR FEET WITH WHICH TO JUMP ON THE EARTH. 22 THESE OF THEM YOU MAY EAT: THE LOCUST IN ITS KINDS, THE DEVASTATING LOCUST IN ITS KINDS, THE CRICKET IN ITS KINDS, AND THE GRASSHOPPER IN ITS KINDS. 23 BUT ALL OTHER WINGED INSECTS WHICH ARE FOUR-FOOTED ARE DETESTABLE TO YOU.
The Talmud (Chulin 53b) says, there are 800 non-kosher species of grasshoppers and locusts, only eight of which are kosher. Traditionally, as well as having certain physical characteristics an ongoing tradition of have treated the creature in question as edible was also needed.
In the past specific locusts were eaten by Jews in North Africa (e.g. Morocco, Tunisia) and in Yemen.
These included the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) which is the most common type in those regions.
The locusts would be either boiled and then roasted or simply roasted. Only select parts were eaten and the rest discarded.
Rabbi Chaim ibn Attar (1696 - 1743, commonly known as "Or Hachaim") in Morocco banned the eating of locusts. Most Jews of that region followed him in this.
In Yemen locusts were eaten by the local Jews until the early 1900s. Nowadays it is unlikely that any Religious Jews would eat them but you never know.
A few years ago there was an organization in Israel that tried to revive the eating of all Kosher Animals the consumption of which had fallen into abeyance.
They would hold annual festive well-publicized meals. As I remember grasshoppers and locusts were on the Menu.

Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.
20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear
21 so that I return safely to my father's household, then the LORD will be my God
22 and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's House, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth."
Malachi 3:
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,
Says the LORD of hosts,
'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the first of all your produce,
10 so your barns will be filled with abundance,
and your vats will burst open with new wine.
