ALMIGHTY

An epithet of God (Heb. šadday), derived from the patriarchal deity El Shaddai (cf. LXX Gk. pantokrátōr). The name is similar in meaning to epithets of the Amorite Amurru (bēl šadē), Canaanite Hadad (baʿal ṣapōn), and Hurrian El (ʾil paban-ḫi-wi-ni) and may have been associated with theophanies of Yahweh in mountain storms (e.g., Exod. 19:16-19). The name occurs in both early and archaizing poetry (e.g., Num. 24:4, 16; Ps. 68:14[MT 15]; 91:1), in passages ascribed to the Priestly source (e.g., Exod. 6:2-3), and in Ezekiel (Ezek. 1:24) and the dialogue portions of Job (31 times).

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.
