What does the Bible say about the purpose of wasps?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible illustrates God's sovereignty over all creation, including wasps, which He used to defeat the Amorite kings in Joshua 24:12.
In Joshua 24:12, God sent the hornet before the Israelites, causing confusion and panic among the Amorite kings and leading to their defeat without a single sword drawn. This incident serves as a reminder of God's control over all aspects of creation, even the smallest of insects. While we may consider wasps a nuisance, this biblical account shows that God can use even those creatures for His divine purposes, reminding us to respect His sovereignty over the natural order. The wasp's purpose may extend beyond its immediate impact; it signifies God's ability to work through the seemingly insignificant to achieve His will.
