Ours is an angry god, stern and unyielding, cruel and yet just. Since the beginning, over 6,000 years ago, He has sent His armies to destroy those who oppose and anger Him.
Sometimes He leads a host and rains destruction on His enemies through corporal means. Other times, He sends bolts of lightning, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, pillars of fire, disease, pestilence, hurricanes, tsunamis, locusts and every other kind of plague.
A host is usually thought of as an army, but sometimes it is weathers, bugs and all kinds of terrors.
As Christians, we don't have to worry about the Lord of Hosts coming against us. God is on our side.
If god stand with us, who can stand against us?
Thou therefore. O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathens: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. Psalm 59:5
