Chronology of the War: The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem, March 70 - September 70
Forwarded from 70 A.D.
First century Laodicea was a renowned centre of banking, finance, fashion, and pharmaceuticals. However, in spite of its great wealth, the city had one major problem. It had no ready source of water.
As such, water had to be piped in through aqueducts from two different sources.
One came from the hot springs in Hierapolis six miles to the north. The other came from a cooler source in Colossae, which was located 10 miles to the east. But, regardless of whether the original water source was hot or cold, it was lukewarm by the time it reached the city of Laodicea.
"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing." Revelation 3:16-17
Laodicea was destroyed by a disastrous earthquake in 62 AD (Tacitus, Annals, 14.27), under the reign of Nero. The only other cities to sustain significant damage, were Colossae and Hierapolis. (Eusebius, Chron. Olymp. 210.4).

JOEL'S ARMY OF LOCUSTS AND REVELATION 9
Judea, the setting for the book of Joel, is devastated by a vast horde of locusts. The terrible plague of locusts is followed by a severe famine throughout the land. Joel uses these happenings as the catalyst to send words of warning to Judea.
Joel symbolically describes the locusts as a marching human army. Unless the people repent quickly and completely, enemy armies from the north will devour the land, as did the natural elements. He views all of this as divine judgment coming against the nation for her sins.
The book of Joel is highlighted by two major events. One is the invasion of the locust army, and the other the outpouring of the Spirit. The initial fulfillment of this last days prophecy is quoted by Peter in Acts 2 as having taken place at Pentecost.
"Alas, alas, alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is nigh, and it will come as trouble upon trouble." Joel 1:15
