Sabaoth

Sabaoth, meaning “hosts” or “armies,” is used in biblical literature to describe the assembled army under divine command. These hosts may include heavenly beings, thought to be the stars, or organized powers that express strength, order, and authority. The term often appears in titles that portray the divine as a commander who governs both cosmic and earthly realms. Rather than naming a separate being, Sabaoth functions as a collective designation that emphasizes rule, sovereignty, and the ability to marshal forces to maintain order, protect communities, or carry out judgment.
