BELTESHAZZAR

(Heb. bēlṭĕšaʾṣṣar)

The Babylonian name (Akk. balāṭsu-uṣur, “protect his life”) given to Daniel during his captivity in Babylon (Dan. 1:7; 2:26; 4:8-9). At Dan. 4:8 Nebuchadnezzar interprets the name as derived from the Babylonian deity Bel, but this is probably a popular etymology. LXX, Vulg. read “Balthasar,” which in Roman Catholic tradition became the name of one of the three wise men from the East who visited the infant Jesus.

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.
