ROSE

A flower (Heb. ḥăḇaṣṣeleṯ) that has been called the rose in many translations (Isa. 35:1), but actually refers to a bulb plant (NRSV “crocus”). Likely candidates are the narcissus (Narcissus tazetta) and the lily (Lilium candidum). The rose of Sharon in Cant. 2:1 may be one of these plants or another plant such as the Tulipa montana. Later writings (Wis. 2:8; Sir. 24:14; 39:13; 50:8; 3 Macc. 7:17; 2 Esdr. 2:19) mention the rose (Gk. rhódon), probably either the Phoenician rose (Rosa phoenicia L.) or the oleander (Nerium oleander L.). In Rabbinic and Modern Hebrew, the rose is Heb. wered.

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.
