MULBERRY

Gk. sykáminos (Luke 17:6), sometimes translated “sycamine tree,” is generally thought to refer to the black mulberry tree or bush (Morus nigra L.). The juice of the mulberry was used to arouse the elephants of Antiochus V’s army for battle against Judas Maccabeus (1 Macc. 6:34; Gk. móron). Some suggest that Heb. bāḵāʾ (2 Sam. 5:23-24; 1 Chr. 14:14-15) refers to this same plant, but others argue this term refers to the poplar or aspen tree.

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.
