Why does Edwards claim that nonbelievers are akin to spiders in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"?

English

He is saying that they are like spiders who weave webs to survive without knowing that their webs are too weak to withstand real threats: just like the web won't be strong enough to stop a rock falling through it, their good deeds won't be enough to save them from hell fire.

In this sermon, Jonathan Edwards is urging his congregation (and by extension, all of the nation) to repent of their sins and pray for forgiveness before it is too late and they go to hell.

The line using the words tomorrow repetitively shows repetition, the line using the word "and" as the conjunction is polysyndeton, and the sentence about the best and the worst of the time is an example of asyndeton.

<h3>What are asyndeton and polysyndeton?</h3>

Asyndeton is the grammatical sentences that lack the use of the conjunction words and are omitted or absent deliberately. The conjunctions like the word nor, or, and, etc. are not included. Hence, "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times" is the asyndeton.

The polysyndeton is the deliberate inclusion of the conjunction words like nor, and, but, if, etc, in the sentence. The conjunction or the linking words are used repetitively in the same sentence. Hence, "I can't wait to see a show <em>and</em> a museum <em>and</em> the zoo <em>and</em> the parks" is an example of polysyndeton.

"We will look to <em>tomorrow</em>, and <em>tomorrow</em>, and <em>tomorrow</em>" is an example of repetition as the same word, "tomorrow" is used multiple times in the sentence. "He would walk through rain, snow, sleet, hail" is an example of parallelism.
