TUBAL

(Heb. tuḇal)

A son of Japheth listed in the Table of Nations (Gen. 10:2; 1 Chr. 1:5) and the nation purportedly descended from him. Tubal was located somewhere in eastern Asia Minor, perhaps Cilicia. It is linked with Javan (Ionia; Isa. 66:19; Ezek. 27:13) and Meshech (Phrygia; Isa. 66:19 LXX; Ezek. 27:13; 32:26; 38:2-3; 39:1). Herodotus (Hist. 3.94) links Meshech and Tubal (Gk. Tibarānoi) in the 19th satrapy of Darius I. The three traded slaves and bronze vessels with Tyre (Ezek. 27:13). Sargon II, who finally subjugated Tubal, claimed bowls of the land of Tabal with gold handles as booty. In Ezek. 32:26 Meshech-tubal (no conjunction) is an example for Egypt of a nation now dead, judged for spreading terror. According to Ezek. 38:2-3; 39:1 Gog will be the chief prince of (a rejuvenated?) Meshech and Tubal.

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.
