The Lord of Hosts
Isaiah 2:12-17
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be on every one that is proud and lofty, and on every one that is lifted up…


All the creatures in the universe are the hosts or armies of Jehovah; angels, who excel in strength; the sun, the moon, and the stars; the thunder and the lightning; the wind, the hail, and the rain; the storm and the tempest; the most insignificant insects, such as the flies and the caterpillars; yea, the sand of the sea and the dust of the earth.

(R. Macculloch.)
