Conclusion:

As we continue to study the nature of the Locusts of Proverbs 30:27, we begin the see, by God’s Grace, how those in the corporate body are typified by locusts

and creeping things. At the start of the tribulation when the body went back into Egypt, the believers were unclean being a part of that body; when there was no king

(God) in Israel. It is these unclean locusts that are now finding rest (salvation) as they go forth out of tribulation. Thus we can see how the overall setting of the four

that are exceeding wise is in the context of the creeping things finding Salvation. I do not see the timing as post tribulation because even though Christ is no longer a

King to Jerusalem below, the unsaved locusts today have a king (Satan) ruling over them (Rev 9:11).
