God's reversal is as dramatic as His judgment. The wind that brought the locusts now removes them completely. The west wind, opposite to the east wind, drives the entire swarm into the sea. The totality—'not one locust remained'—matches the totality of the judgment.
What Does Exodus 10:19 Mean?
God's reversal is as dramatic as His judgment. The wind that brought the locusts now removes them completely. The west wind, opposite to the east wind, drives the entire swarm into the sea. The totality—'not one locust remained'—matches the totality of the judgment.
The drowning of the locusts in the sea foreshadows the fate of Pharaoh's army. Water becomes both God's instrument of deliverance for Israel and destruction for the plagues. The mercy shown here is real but temporary—it offers Pharaoh a final chance to obey.
