But how doth the Prophet make use of this Title of 1God, The Lord of Hosts?
- 1Quest.
It is in reference unto those Hosts of God that appeared 1to Jacob a little before he met with his Brother Esau, the Prophet is speaking of the story of Jacob's meeting with Esau, and how he then wrestled with God, upon which his name was changed, in Gen. 32. 1, 2. the text saith, The Angels of God met him. And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is Gods Host: This hath reference to that place. The Hosts of God appeared to Jacob just upon this time of his wrestling, and the text saith there, He called the name of the place Mahanaim, that is, two Hosts, or two Camps. Saith Hosea, The Lord of Hosts is his name, as if he should say, It is the same Lord that was the Lord of Hosts that appeared to Jacob your Father a little before his wrestling, it's the same God, he remains the same God still, and your sin is against that God, and return unto that God that is this Lord of Hosts.
