“Jehovah-Sabaoth” or “Lord of armies”

 


"As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 47:4)

The Name “Jehovah-Tsebahoth” or “Jehovah-Sabaoth” means “Lord of armies”. This is the Name used in Isaiah 47:4. Anyone familiar with Scripture is fully aware that references to God’s “army” is usually a referral to His unfallen angels (Ps. 148:2; Rev. 12:7).

God dispatches these “angel armies” for our personal protection: “Yahweh protects me .... Yahweh will command his angels to protect you in whatever you are doing” (Psalm 91:9, 11; Unlocked Dynamic Bible). Similarly, another translation of Isaiah 47:4 reads, “says our Protector— the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel” (New English Translation).
