The Lord of armies, who directs the issue of war. The appellation is given Him likewise as Lord of the heavenly luminaries, which are styled the host of heaven. Gen. 2 : 1. He is also Lord of the angels, who, in a higher sense, are His hosts. St Jerome understands the text of Christ: " Not only aooording to the Apocalypse of St John, and the Apostle Paul, but In the Old Testament likewise, Christ is called Lord of hosts that is Almighty."
