Lord of hosts

Jeremiah 46-48

I didn't realize until a few days ago when I was reading a version of Cinderella, that the word "hosts" when used in the expression "Lord of hosts" might just be referring the Lord's army. God is the Lord of hosts because He has many who go out with Him to fight! Hosts isn't referring to fat little baby angels. No! Warrior angels who get the job done!!

Reading the Bible is so much easier when you have full command of a language. Or so I presume...I don't actually know because I'm still working on my English...which is my native language...

Further, I find it interesting (and I forgot to say this yesterday in the passage I first saw it) that God predicts punishment on the Egyptians not only because of their own sin, but also because Judah is seeking refuge there. God predicts that He will give them over to Babylon, and I'm no history buff, but something like that happens...

God gives power, and He takes it away. These chapters show that clearly. God lists their sins they kept committing and tells them how they will pay for it. I wonder if an humbled themselves and repented? Doubtful...His own people rarely do that...
