THE WORLD WIDE WEB from One Bread, One Body of Presentation Ministries
"He will
destroy...
the
web that is woven over all nations." —Isaiah 25:7
One possible
meaning of Isaiah's prophecy is that the
"web that is woven over all nations" (Is 25:7) is the Internet, or World Wide Web.
The Internet
literally is woven over all
nations,
connected by strands of wire, cable, and fiberglass.
Some of you are
on it at this instant, reading this
very teaching from your e-mail inbox or at our web site,
Thank God for
you!
A spider's web
is woven for the purpose of
ensnaring insects, leading to their death and consumption. Isaiah refers to this web
as a "veil
that veils all peoples" (Is 25:7).
Scripturally, the
word "veil" refers to the cloth in the
inner sanctuary of the Temple
that kept
people away from God (see Lv 16:2).
However,
someday soon the Lord will destroy this
web woven over all
nations (Is 25:7). At the moment
Jesus died on His cross,
the veil in the
temple was torn in two by the Lord.
Jesus destroyed
what had ensnared us and separated
us from intimacy with God, giving us free access to the Father
(Eph 2:18; see
also 2 Cor 3:16).
The Internet
brings many closer to God, yet it also
separates many people from free access to God. It can consume many hours of people's time needlessly.
Many surf the
Web idly for hours instead of building
their relationship with Jesus,
their spouse,
children, or serving God.
Many others are ensnared by Internet pornography
or destructive
relationships
through the
lures of chat rooms, advertisers, or the
greed of sinful webmasters. Let Jesus set you free from anything that ensnares you.
Let
nothing separate you from His love.
Prayer: Jesus,
I pray for the conversion of all those
who misuse the
Internet to lead others into sin.
Promise:
"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." —Ps 23:1
