HAMONAH

(Heb. hămônâ)

Prophetic place name (“Multitude”) given by Ezekiel as the burial site of the forces of Gog that are to be defeated by the faithful army of God (Ezek. 39:16). The site is placed in the “Valley of the Hordes of Gog” (Hamon-gog) E of the Dead Sea, in Transjordan. The burial of Israel’s enemies across the Jordan will keep the Promised Land ritually pure as it is restored as holy unto God. The weapons collected from the fallen dead will be so numerous as to serve as fuel for the fires of Israel for seven years. Instead of a place name, some English translations render the term “nearby” or “great horde.”

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.
