Jehovah Sabaothin the Septuagint:kurios sabaôth - the Lord of hosts (sabaôth: Gr. transliteration of Heb. "hosts")

Meaning and Derivation:Jehovah is translated as "The Existing One" or "Lord." The chief meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havah meaning "to be" or "to exist." It also suggests "to become" or specifically "to become known" - this denotes a God who reveals Himself unceasingly. Sabaoth (s^e bâ’ôt) means "armies" or "hosts." Jehovah Sabaoth can be translated as "The Lord of Armies" (1 Samuel 1:3). This name denotes His universal sovereignty over every army, both spiritual and earthly. The Lord of Hosts is the king of all heaven and earth. (Psalms 24:9-10; Psalms 84:3; Isaiah 6:5).
