SPIDER

An Arachnid of the order Araneida, of which numerous species exist in Palestine (Heb. ʿakkāḇîš). Distinguished from insects by the division of their bodies into two portions, the cephalothorax and abdomen, spiders are unique among animals because of their spinnerets, appendages to their abdomen which emit through spinning tubers a silky fluid. The manner in which a spider’s web is woven is a metaphor for the deliberate sinful actions of the wicked (Isa. 59:5). The web itself typifies the fragile existence of the ungodly (Job 8:14).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
