Locusts of the Abyss

In the Christian book of Revelation it states that an Angel will open the gate to the bottomless pit and release a vast swam of locusts to punish mankind. 

These Locusts are not normal Locusts, it states that they have the face of a man, the hair of a woman, the body of a horse, the sting of a scorpion and they have metal armour. It states that they cause immense pain to all people on Earth the are not shielded by God. 

What are these Locusts? I imagined that they are machines because they are wearing metal plates. Or maybe they are plagues or natural disasters. 

I often wonder what it is trying to tell me.. are they actually locusts, are they pain machines, viruses? I have no idea.

Bitterness and hate

Very often in life, anger and bitterness can accumulate in a person's mind, because they remember all the bad deeds that were done to them. Sometimes they feel they are not respected. Other times they feel rejected socially. Well, an answer to this problem can be found in the Christian Bible. If I can recall correctly, the story of Joseph can be found near the end of Genesis Just before Exodus.

In the story Joseph, a Man with 11 brothers became the favourite of the family and was given a coat that contained lots of different coloured fabrics. His siblings became jealous of him and tried to kill him but decided to sell him off as a slave instead. He was betrayed by his brothers.

Joseph was able to overcome his bitterness by praying and doing everything very well. He did everything very well, even though the work he was doing was exploitation.

He was able to forgive his brothers and all the people that betrayed him. I think that bitterness and hate is poisonous to the mind and cuts people off from God. Forgiveness is hard for a human but when they pray to focus on what they are doing , the hate and bitterness goes away.
