ARCHELAUS

(Gk. Archélaos)

Son of Herod the Great who inherited Judea, Idumea, and Samaria at his father’s death. He was designated by his father to receive the title of king. The Jewish historian Josephus is ambiguous on this, saying at one point that he did receive the title, but at another seeming to say that it was promised only after a period of probation (Ant. 17.195; cf. BJ 2.93). His only mention in the NT is Matt. 2:22, which states that Mary and Joseph were afraid to live in Judea with the infant Jesus because Archelaus was ruling there.

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.
