"The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run." Joel 2:4
The delays of God in bringing judgement, are sometimes wrongly interpreted as impotence against sin or indifference to it. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are all too often God's exceptional mercy, longsuffering and love extending to man another opportunity to repent. When finally judgement does come however, it comes swiftly and severely! Judah experienced this when because of their unrepented sin, judgement came in the form of a plague of locusts which devoured and destroyed. Highlighting the swiftness of this judgement, the locusts are described in strength and speed as horses; as loud as chariots on a charge; as fire leaving desolation in its wake; and as a mighty army of men set in battle array and able to scale walls!
