Bible
THE SPIDER'S STING
"The sting of death is sin ; and the strength
of sin is the law." I Corinthians 15:56
Even though all of the thousands of kinds of
spiders are poisonous to some extent, only a
very few are harmful to human beings.
Nevertheless, the mere sight of a spider often
frightens people who know their fear is
groundless. When naturalist Ivan T. San
derson was attacked by a giant African
spider, he reported that he was more afraid of
the appearance of the creature than of its
deadly poison. That spider, whose leg spread
measured eight by twelve inches, was making
six-foot leaps at the members of Sanderson's
expedition. Its lialf-inch-long fangs could
have injected enough poison to kill any of
them. The natives considered this spider an
embodiment of the devil.
The largest spider in North Amertcs is the
tarantula. It may have a leg spread of six or
seven inches, but its bite is rarely lethal. In
fact, people who would die from a tarantula's
poison are probably equally sensitive to a bee
sting. Therefore, the tarantula is overrated as
a menace.
There are only two dangerous spiders in
North America. The black widow is one,
which gets its name from the mistaken belief
that the female kills and eats the male after
mating. This is not true.
Drop for drop, the poison of a black widow
is about fifteen times more powerful than that
of a rattlesnake. However, because the insect
injects such small amounts of venom when it
bites, few people have been seriously harmed.
In fact, death occurs in only about five of one
hundred cases of black widow bites.
The other is the little-known brown recluse
spider, which is most famous for the
violin shaped mark on its back. There have
been very few deaths cjused by its bite, but
the strength of Its poison should still be
respected.
Sin. said Paul, has a deadly sting. The
poison of that sting is more powerful than that
of any Insect, for it has resulted in death for
all mankind. But the blood of Jesus is its
antidote, and all who receive Him will be
saved eternally from the sting of death.
