The LORD of armies, heavenly and earthly, visible and the invisible. The one who goes forth in great terribleness and victory. The LORD of Hosts, The LORD strong and mighty and mighty in battle. The one who is universally sovereign over every army.
Bishop Francis Wale Oke calls this song an “invocation” - a deep cry to the King of glory to show, reveal, and shine forth His glory.
“Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.” Jeremiah 50:34
“Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.” Psalm 24:10
