BETH-EDEN

(Heb. bêṯ ʿeḏen; Akk. Bīt-adini)

The Hebrew name of an Aramean state located to the east of the great bend of the Euphrates River in modern Syria. Beth-eden was made part of the Assyrian Empire in 856 b.c.e. (2 Kgs. 19:12 = Isa. 37:12). During the first half of the 8th century a powerful Assyrian general, Šamši-ilu, set up a western Assyrian Empire based in Beth-eden with himself as monarch (Amos 1:5). The connection between Beth-eden, known as Paddan-aram (the ancestral home of Abraham) in Genesis, and the “garden of Eden” remains uncertain.

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.
