Our Redeemer, The Lord Of Hosts

[Rick]

Isaiah 44:6
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of
hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no
God.

( Did you catch that? God`s Redeemer is the Lord Of Hosts. In case
you`re not fast enough to understand, here it is in another verse.)

Isaiah 47:4
As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of
Israel.

(Do you understand? No matter who else denies it. According to Isaiah
the prophet the Lord of Hosts is our Redeemer.)

Isaiah 54:5
For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he
be called.

( Did read what Isaiah said? Our creator is our husbandman. He is our
Redeemer and the Lord of Hosts is His name. He shall be called the God
of the whole earth.)

Isaiah 28:5
In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a
diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people

(Can you percieve what is being said? In the day when the Lord of
Hosts rules in Jerusalem He shall be a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to His people.)

Jeremiah 10:16
The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all
things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is
his name.

( Do you get it? The Lord of Hosts is the One who inherits Israel.
Guess who He inherits it from? )

Jeremiah 46:18
As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as
Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he
come.

( The Lord of Hosts is the King.)

Zechariah 8:3
Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the
midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and
the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

(The Lord of Hosts is returning to dwell in Jerusalem)

Zechariah 8:22
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of
hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.

(People from all over the world will come to Jerusalem to seek the
Lord of Hosts.)

Zechariah 14:16
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the
nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to
year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles.

( Every year people will come to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts,
the God of the whole earth.)


(Who are you expecting to return? A man?)

10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,

11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou
seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are
in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto
Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned,
I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of
man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps
with a golden girdle.

14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and
his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went
a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in
his strength.

17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his
right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the
last:

18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

( Well He doesn`t sound like a man to me.)

Very nicely said and understood.
