"The Lord of hosts is with us; Yahweh Sabaot, the God of Jacob is our refuge."
Psalm 46:7
The LORD of Hosts is the name by which God wages warfare on behalf of His people.
He reveals Himself as our faithful defender, and the one who establishes justice for us.
There is also an indication of intimacy associated with this name, He is identified as our Redeemer.
"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his redeemer, the LORD of hosts"
Isaiah 44:6.
"As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name" Isaiah 47:4.
More specifically, He is our Kinsman Redeemer that is the one who acts on behalf of his next of kin, to ransom, redeem or deliver.
A kinsman redeemer would buy back his relative's property or marry his widow, for the sake of the family and to protect their inheritance.
The LORD of Hosts is also identified as our husband.
"For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is His name" Isaiah 54:5.
We see the healing significance of this name in the prayer of Hannah, who cried out to the LORD in her barrenness, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life." 1 Samuel 1:11.
Jesus is the LORD of Hosts, our kinsman redeemer.
He is the faithful husband who defends and delivers us in every situation, bringing healing and restoration for barrenness and every illness.
