The Holy Angels compared to an Host or Army.
Gen. 32.1. Jacob went on his way, and the Angels of God met him. Verse 2. And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's Host: And he called the Name of that Place Mahanaim, (that is, two Hosts or Camps.) Luke 2.13. And suddenly there was with the Angel a Multitude of the Heavenly Host, praising God, &c.
