MERATHAIM

(Heb. mĕrāṯayim)

The southern region of Babylonia where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers merge and empty into the Persian Gulf (Jer. 50:21). The Hebrew representation of the Akkadian name of the region, māt marratîm (taken from the name of the Persian Gulf, nar marrâtu, “bitter river”; cf. Heb. mrr), is a play on words that means “(land of) double rebellion” (mrh).

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.
