KAIWAN

(Heb. kiyyûn; Akk. kayyamânu)

The Babylonian name for the planet Saturn, which Amos calls a star-god (Amos. 5:26). Amos prophesied that since the Israelites worshipped a Babylonian deity God would send them to Babylon (presumably so they could be nearer the pagan god they wanted to worship). Stephen’s quotation of this passage at Acts 7:43 follows the LXX, which reads “Rephan,” apparently an error in transliteration.

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.
