HORN

1. A container for liquids or the oil poured on those anointed to a specific task (1 Sam. 16:1, 13; 1 Kgs. 1:39); most likely made from an animal’s horn.

2. A symbol of power, help, victory, or glory (Deut. 33:17; 1 Kgs. 22:11). The “horn of salvation” represents the king’s saving power (2 Sam. 22:3 = Ps. 18:2[MT 3]). A broken horn denotes defeat (Jer. 48:25). The prophets predict the future rise of a beast with multiple horns, representing powers opposing God (Zech. 1:18-21[2:1-4]; Dan. 7:8; Rev. 13:1). At Rev. 5:6 the seven horns of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) indicate the abundance of his power.

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.
