"There shall be a great shaking that is upon My hands and upon My agenda, and the 'stomping out' of My feet," says the Lord. And I speak to you that are in fear," says the Living God, "that this that I speak of – this revolution of light – is My purposeful overthrow of the darkness, the agenda the things that they say, that they shall continue to 'stand as they are' – they shall suddenly shift. "And I have declared to you, before, that you are in the revolution of light. And those who sit in darkness, those who are part of darkness – those who have cooperated with darkness shall see this great light. The Lord says: "Therefore, a great light, as it was in the days of the announcement of the Christ once again there is an announcement, that I speak from My throne – of a great light. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." (Matthew 6:10) He is the LORD of hosts (Revelation 19:11–20).Word of the Lord released on Decemat Lord of Hosts Church: The King of glory, who commands the armies of heaven and who will eventually defeat all His enemies in this world, is none other than Jesus Christ. The sovereign LORD of hosts has the grace to always be there for the one who comes to Him through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
At the same time, He is available to hear the prayers of His people (Psalm 80:19). He alone intervenes to provide victory for His people. As the LORD of hosts, God is the all-powerful Ruler over the entire universe. Isaiah 37:16).Įventually, Yahweh of armies will put down all rebellion (Isaiah 24:21–23) and establish His Kingdom from Mt. He is the glorious King of Israel, and Zechariah 14:9 tells us that He will be King of the world, over all the kingdoms of the earth (cf. This kingship of the LORD of hosts is vividly expressed in Psalm 24:10: “Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory!” (ESV).
It was necessary for the nation to realize that Yahweh was King even of the many other mighty nations. Soon after David’s defeat of Goliath, Israel would enter the international scene. In doing so, David was claiming that God is the universal ruler over every force whether in heaven or on earth. In 1 Samuel 17:45, as part of his pre-fight verbal sparring with Goliath, David invokes this name of God.
Some have suggested that ”LORD of hosts” reaffirms that God is the true Leader of Israel’s armies, in spite of the low spiritual condition of the nation of Israel at the time of the judges. The Ark symbolized Yahweh’s rulership, among other things, for He sits enthroned above the cherubim (1 Samuel 4:4 Psalm 99:1). In the same sentence as “LORD of hosts” is a reference to Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. This name for God first appears at the close of the period of the judges. Thus, another way of saying “LORD of hosts” is “God of the armies of heaven.” The NIV translates YHWH saboath as “LORD Almighty.” The word hosts is a translation of the Hebrew word sabaoth, meaning “armies”-a reference to the angelic armies of heaven. The word LORD, capitalized, refers to Yahweh, the self-existent, redemptive God. God is first called the “LORD of hosts” in 1 Samuel 1:3. The name “LORD of hosts” occurs some 261 times in the Old Testament Scriptures.
