MIST

Subterranean waters (Heb. ʾēḏ; cf. Akk. edû; Sum. a-dé-a) used by God in the creation of plant and subsequently human life (Gen. 2:6 RSV; NRSV “stream”). According to Job 36:27 God distils the mist to produce rain. Elsewhere Heb. nĕśiʾîm designates the vaporous mist, one of many forms of water and precipitation under God’s control of the elements (e.g., Jer. 10:13; 51:16).

Often references to mist are figurative, depicting the transitoriness of life (Gk. atmís; Jas. 4:14), idols (Hos. 13:3) and false teachings (hómichlē; 2 Pet. 2:17), and God’s forgiveness of sins (Heb. ʿānān; Isa. 44:22). At Acts 13:11 Gk. achlýs describes Paul’s temporary blindness.

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.
