SOUTH

Because the Israelites thought of the compass points in relation to a person facing eastward, their words for “south” included Heb. yāmîn, “on the right, right hand, south,” and the related word têmān. Other Hebrew terms are negeḇ, which is also the name of the southern region of Judah, “the Negeb,” and dārôm. “The king of the south” designates various Ptolemaic rulers of Egypt at Dan. 11. NT terms include Gk. nótos and mesēmbría (Acts 8:26), which might also be translated “midday” (NRSV mg “noon”). “The queen of the South” (Matt. 12:42; Luke 11:31) is the queen of Sheba (cf. 1 Kgs. 10:1-10).

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.
