If Israel when God was about to deliver from Babylonish Captivity should ask the Question that Moses thought would be asked upon his sending to be their Deliverer from the Egyptian bondage, What is his Name? Exod. 13. 3. The Prophet answers here, The Lord of Hosts is his Name. There, his Name was I am; Here it is, The Lord of Hosts. And if they should say, But how can this deliverance be here? Can Babylon be destroyed? Babylon is strong, who shall bring down her power? Yes, there is one can do it, The Lord our Redeemer, The Lord of Hosts is his Name.

Here then we have this glorious title of the Lord, for the comfort of his people in their distress, and the terror of their enemies in their pride, The Lord of Hosts, The Lord of Armies. The English word Hosts is from the Latin Hostis, because an Army is either for defence, or offence against enemies.
