In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture. Each day, you\u2019ll come here to read the description of the name we\u2019re studying today and a brief explanation of how God\u2019s character is seen through His name. (Remember that because the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek, some of God\u2019s names are written in the English form of His name from their original language.) You can then head to today\u2019s passages to see how this name functions in Scripture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
LORD OF ARMIES:<\/strong> The security, power, and strength of God in the face of His enemies<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hebrew root word tsaba<\/em>, or \u201ca gathering of people,\u201d is frequently used in the Bible to describe armies preparing for war. When paired with the name of God in Yahweh Tsebaoth<\/em>, it reveres Him as being over hosts of angelic armies who gather in His name and serve at His command, with all creation subject to. \u201cLORD of Armies,\u201d \u201cLORD of Hosts,\u201d \u201cGod of Armies,\u201d and \u201cLORD God of Armies\u201d are versions of this name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n LORD of Armies most frequently appears in the Minor Prophets, especially in Malachi, where almost half of the verses in the book contain this name in some form. During the time of the prophets, the people of God were living in exile in Babylon and then under foreign rule after their return from exile. They faced daily reminders of the presence and power of the enemy armies that kept them in captivity. They called out to God as the LORD of Armies, whose vast angelic hosts could deliver them from trouble. LORD of Armies is a name that assures us of the power of our mighty God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture.
