The answer is: True

Exodus 10

It’s true! God did send locusts as one of the ten plagues upon Egypt, as recorded in Exodus 10. This was not just an inconvenience for the Egyptians but a dramatic display of power. The locusts were so thick like clouds that they covered the land and devoured anything that was green, marking a time of severe devastation.

What's fascinating is the context of these plagues. Each one was a step in a plea for freedom by the Israelites, allowing them to leave the oppression they endured in Egypt. The plague of locusts served to show the stubbornness of Pharaoh, who repeatedly refused to free the Israelites, despite each disastrous event. How wild is it to think locusts, insects that usually symbolize destruction and loss, became a symbol of liberation?

Moreover, in cultural history, locust swarms have often symbolized destruction across various civilizations, and in some ancient texts, they are even seen as a sign from the gods. In modern terms, locusts can still destroy crops and affect economies, revealing just how relevant these plagues, including the one of locusts, are to the understanding of human hardships and divine intervention throughout history.

As we marvel at stories like these, they remind us of the deeper struggles for freedom and the finer thread that connects humanity through challenges throughout the ages!
