"Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts.
"The Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts ..." "This full title appears nowhere else in the book,"[34] indeed nowhere else in the entire Bible. "It emphasizes in a special way the omnipotence of God for the purpose of magnifying the effect of the predicted judgment."[35] "In Hebrew the name is [~'Adonay] [~Yahweh] [~'Elohiym] [~Tsba'owth]."[36] It is from the last member of this quadruple designation that our word "Sabaoth" is derived. The Lord of Sabaoth means "the Lord of Hosts" and is found some 300 times in the Old Testament.  The imagery of "Lord of Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts" is that of the ruler over an organized host, such as a great army, or all of the angels of heaven.
