Bible Question: PLEASE GIVE ME THE DEFINITION FOR THE LORD OF HOST |
Bible Answer: Hi ELILIZ514, I think that it is important to know that God is God, and that He loves us. May we never doubt that. Malachi 1:1, "The oracle of the word of the Lord to Israel through Malachi. "I have loved you, says the (Lord). But you say, "How hast Thou loved us?" Malachi 1:9, NKJ, "But now entreat God's favor, That He may be gracious to us. NASB, "With such an offering on your part, will (He) receive any of you kindly?" says the Lord of hosts." Malachi 1:11, "For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, My name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense is going to be offered in My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be great among the nations," says the (Lord) of hosts." Malachi 1:14b, "...for I am a great King," says the Lord of hosts, "and (My) name is feared among the nations." ***Jesus is my King who died for me on the cross, even the (King) of the Jews. I need no other offering or sacrifice. Malachi 2:13, "...because (He) no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand." Malachi 3:1, "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold (He) is coming," says the Lord of hosts." The capitalized Messenger and parentheses are my interpretation and use for comparison. Malachi 4:2, NKJ, "But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; ...On the day that (I) do this," Says the Lord of hosts." I find the book of Malachi to be a good one for learning of the Lord of hosts and I hope that these verses have been meaningful. From the heart, Ray |
