Jasper is also one of the precious stones that cover the anointed cherub in Ezek. 28:13.

In the NT God appears on the throne as a light of jasper and carnelian (Rev. 4:3); the radiance of the heavenly Jerusalem is like jasper (21:11); and the walls of the city and its first foundation course are made of jasper (vv. 18-19).

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.
