God's Sovereign Restoration
Commentators like Calvin and Barnes emphasize that the locusts were not a random disaster but God's "great army." This highlights God's absolute control. Just as He sovereignly sent the judgment, He sovereignly promises to restore what was lost. This knowledge provides deep assurance to believers: God is in control of both hardship and blessing, and He can bring about complete restoration.
