ACHAEMENID

(also ACHAEMENIAN)

Designation of the royal house of Persia, from Cyrus II (559-530 b.c.e.) onward (from Pers. Hakhāmanish, perhaps “friendly in nature,” eponymous ancestor of the dynasty; Gk. Achaimenēs). It was Cyrus who permitted the Jewish exiles to take back to Jerusalem the “vessels of the house of the Lord” (Ezra 1:7). The vast and varied resources of the empire made Achaemenian (or Achaemenid) art possible.

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.
