Jehovah Sabaoth - Lord of Hosts
Heavenly host refers to an army (Luk.2:13; Rev.19:19) of good angels mentioned in the Bible.
It is led either by the Archangel Michael, Jesus, or by God Himself.
Most descriptions of angels in the Bible describe them in military terms, such as encampment (Gen.32:1-2), command structure (Ps.91:11-12; Matt.13:41; Rev.7:2), and combat (Jdg.5:20; Job 19:12; Rev.12:7).
Encampment
So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s camp.
Genesis 32:1
Command structure
Ps 91:11
For He shall give His angels charge over you,To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Matthew 13:31
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Revl 7:2
Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Combat
Judges 5:20
They fought from the heavens;The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
Job 19:12
His troops come togetherAnd build up their road against me;They encamp all around my tent.
Revelation 12:7
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them[a] in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
