Hello everyone! In previous episodes of DIY Salvation Cosmic Edition, I have made pretty bold statements again and again, declaring that the God of the Christian Bible is the only God and there is no other God. See, I do not support the notion that there are many gods and that you can choose the one you want. No, there are no other gods, there is only one God, and there is no other, and it is not even optional. In fact, the fact that it is optional for us to choose what we will serve, right, already tells us that there is an error running on this our planet Earth. Because the rest of the universe, there is no debate as to who is God, the one true God. Now, the reason for my bold claims is simple: the one who created the heavens and the earth alone, he is the supreme sovereign. Through several teachings, I have proven that God is the true architect of all creation. And the things that I've shared on DIY salvation, you know that you cannot read them anywhere. If you read them in a book, it has to be a book written by me. Okay, you can't see them anywhere because I didn't do research in a book. I heard from God, I supported my the information that I heard from God with biblical backing and also with scientific research. I have also repeatedly said that we are not alone in the universe, and I have supported this truth with many scriptures. If you don't know that we are not alone in the world, go and listen to the episode titled We Are Not Alone in the Universe. Also, in Eleleon and the Stark Dimensions of Reality, I explained how that the name of God Eleleon points us to the one whose office is stationed at the topmost floor of the skyscraper of reality, and this makes his title the most high God quite literally apt. In today's episode, we are going to unpack another name or title of God known as Yahweh Sabot, which is translated as the Lord of hosts. Now what is in a name? In Greek, the New Testament, the word name is translated as onoma, meaning authority and character. In Hebrew, the Old Testament, the word name is Shem, meaning honor, rank, and reputation. Putting this together, therefore, we understand that the names of God are never random. Every name of God is a revelation of who he is, it is his resume. Okay? The names of God reveal his nature, they reveal his power, they also reveal the scope of his authority, they show his character. For example, when we talk about the name of Jesus, we're talking about everything that Jesus is, his authority, his character, his very presence, his honor, his rank as the Son of God, his rank as God, his reputation as God, the creator of the heavens and earth. This is important for you because you need to know when you're invoking the name of Jesus, this is what you're invoking. You're invoking his honor, his rank, his reputation, his authority, his character. That's the reason why the name of Jesus carries so much power and so many miracles happen in the name of Jesus. Nothing is impossible at the name of Jesus. Therefore, applying this wisdom about what's in a name to the name of God Yahweh Sabeoth, the Lord of hosts, it means that God is the only majesty and the supreme sovereign in the entire universe. A host means an army. If you have not listened to the episode, the host of heaven, go listen to it. It's very important. You're supposed to listen to the host of heaven before even listening to this particular episode. Okay? So a host means an army. In relation to the universe, the host of heaven refers to all the star systems in all the galaxies scattered across the cosmos. Now, this might sound like a summary, but I guarantee you there is so much information in the episode, the host of heaven. So go and listen to it. So much information that you never even imagine. TI Salvation is here to fill in all the gaps in your spiritual learning. Okay? So by now we understand that all the stars, if you've listened to the host of heaven, we now understand that the stars, all the stars are all angels of various civilizations and worlds. This means that the Lord of hosts is the commander-in-chief of all the armies of the Lord. Do you see that? The Lord of hosts reveals the vast extent of God's authority as the commander of the armies of heaven. God is the supreme ruler of a vast living and organized cosmos. He is the divine sovereign, he's the one who commands countless angelic beings that serve him, that worship him, and they execute his will across the universe. So all the innumerable stars scattered across space all receive their brilliance from God, who have told you in every sense is the most incredible and most radiant star, in spite of God pouring out light and his power to all creation, because from his glory, from his own personal glory, created all the galaxies and all the stars, like massive, massive light scattered across the universe. And God himself poured his light into all these beings, and yet he himself is never diminished. His breath alone gives life to all. Even God Himself said in Jeremiah chapter 23, verse 24, Do I not fill heaven and earth? Like he boasts about it that he filled the heaven and earth with life, the heaven universe and the earth universe. Of course, this gives us perspective to when we say God is great. Because what do you imagine? How far does your imagination go? I hope it can go beyond the observable universe. Because truly, God is a person of unmatched might. There is no other God besides him. There is no other god besides him. You know, the most painful thing is that the rest of the religions that are paraded in the world today as other gods, right? Are being controlled by demons and evil spirits that are imprisoned. That's the most painful part. They don't even live in any world like recognized world in our universe. Rather, they are prisoners in the underworld. That's the most painful part. And they want to compete with God. You know, when you compare Christianity with other religions, you think they're on the same level. You're joking. It cannot be. It's not possible. There is no way. These guys are already in prison, they've already been judged. They are just they're just playing with you all until the time of their their punishment. They've already been judged, I'm telling you. They are not waiting, awaiting trial. They have already been judged. God truly is a person of unmatched might. Let's put this into perspective by looking at the power of just one single angel, for example. 2 Kings chapter 19. King Hezekiah found himself in a situation that was impossible. There was no way out. Jerusalem was surrounded. They were trapped by one of the fiercest armies in history, which is the Assyrian Empire. See, the Assyrian Empire, they were not just ordinary soldiers, they were known for brutality. They would conquer nations and leave nothing behind. No one. And their king, Senator, was boasting loudly, mocking Hezekiah, mocking Israel, mocking God. He sent messengers who stood outside the city walls and they were shouting in Hebrew so that everyone could understand. Don't let Hezekiah deceive you. Don't let in Nigerian parlance, don't let Hezekiah deceive you. No God of any nation has been able to save them from me, and your God will not save you either. So just imagine the fear and the sleepless nights, the sound of chariots, you know, outside the city gates. Hezekiah was distraught, of course. But he did not run to his generals. He didn't even send envoys to Egypt as other nations would do. He went straight to the temple of God, spread out the letter that he received, the threats letters. And that's what you should do. Spread it before the Lord. And he prayed. Oh, he prayed. And look at how his prayer started. He said, Oh Lord of hosts. Hey! He invoked the Lord of hosts. Do you understand what that means? He invoked the man of war. He started by saying, Oh Lord of hosts, all the angels. When I'm talking about angels, remember, I told you if you're listening to the host of heaven, I told you that the each star that you see is a being, is an advanced being, an advanced humanoid being that has cultivated for millions of years, if possible, even billions of years, right? So he is very powerful. Nations are coming out of him because you see, planets are orbiting him now. So, and there are beings in all those planets, but he is the supreme authority of that solar system. So that's how powerful he is. Now, all these suns and stars that you're seeing, they represent those kinds of powerful beings that have cultivated to that extent, and they are that powerful. And here is Hezekiah calling God. He said, Oh Lord of hosts, that all these angels that we know, billions and billions of them, you are the commander in chief of them. Ha! Hezekiah was telling God, send your angel. You don't have to send many, just bring one. He said, just bring one, just one only. The Lord of hosts, God of Israel, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. He said, Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear. Open your eyes and see. Deliver us so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are God. See, listen to me, as you listen to me, whatever it is that you're going through, this is how God will visit you. Let me pray for you. We invoke the name of the Lord of hosts, Yahweh Sabbath, that he will incline his ears to you and deliver you, so that everyone who is fighting against you will see and they will know that he alone is God. Your testimony is unto the glory of God. Your testimony so that people will know that only God, there is only one God, only one and there is no other. That night, without a single sword lifted by Israel, do you know? God responded, because the Bible says in 2 Kings chapter 19, verse 35, and it came to pass that night that the angel of the Lord went out and smote in the camp of the Assyrians 104 score and 5,000. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses, one angel, one night, not two, not one month, one move from heaven and one hundred and eighty-five thousand warriors, dead corpses, just because the Lord of hosts had gone to battle, just one angel. This puts us into perspective because I told you one, I wanted to put into perspective for you to be able to understand the strength and the skill of the entire host of heaven at God's command. If this is the work of one angel in one night, 185,000 dead corpses, people should fear God and shun evil. Because following Satan is simply not worth it. If you know somebody who is serving another God, or if you have been serving another God, this should be your sign. Turn to the one true God. There is no gain in serving Satan. There is no gain in selling your soul. You know, you sell your soul to what's benefit. Even Jesus said it, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? It's not worth it. We know that throughout human history, anyone who controls military forces is the person who holds the power. In some ancient kingdoms, I'm sure you've read stories or watched movies where commanders will grow more powerful than the kings they serve because they were the ones controlling the military forces. So, of course, over the years, the person who is the number one man in the country is also the one who is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. In God's kingdom, this is how it is run. God is both the king and the commander. There is nobody who rivals him, he alone holds ultimate power, and it is impossible to oust God. Ask Lucifer, where is he now? Where is he now? So, this information now makes you understand the reason why in Psalm 24 the title of God, the Lord of hosts, and the King of Glory appeared together in the scripture. See, there is no other place where the term the king of glory actually appears in the Bible apart from Psalm 24. It appears and it appears like four times in Psalm 24, I think, if I'm not mistaken. Okay, when they connect like that, you see, Lord of hosts, Yahweh Sabah, means that God is the commander of the host of heaven. Simply put, he's the commander of stars. Do you see? So that means he's the one that is in charge of all spiritual power. He's the mighty warrior that fights and protects his people. He's actively involved in the affairs of nations and the destinies of his children. Now, on the other hand, King of Glory speaks of his radiant splendor. You can see that it's only with Yahweh Sabiot that you can actually have the King of Glory. Because if he's the commander of stars, he has to be the King of Glory. So if you were doubting that Psalm 24 was talking about stars, go and read it again. You'll find that even verse 2 talks about the foundations of the world, which is the firmament. It talks about it. It says you have founded the earth upon the seas. Do you see? So you know he's talking about the cosmic order. In fact, listen to DIY Salvation Cosmic Edition Edition, all the episodes. Go back and read Psalm 24. It will be very clear. You say, Oh wow, everything becomes clear to you now. Okay, so King of Glory speaks of God's radiant glory, his splendor, his overwhelming majesty, his presence, his beauty. You know, his brilliance. The glory of God contains all the good things of God. You know, stars, that's how stars are, right? It is from the stars that we see all these beautiful gemstones, gold, and all these wonderful elements upon planets. It came from the stars. The glory of God is the beauty of God, is the heavyweight of God. Everything that you need is in your glory, also. Do you get? That's why you draw it out of you. It's all there in your glory. And God is the king of all glory, so powerful that all galaxies obey his word. He's so majestic that all the brightness of all the stars in the universe, they all emanated from his brilliance. And together they still cannot rival his singular radiance. Think of that. So I hope with this information that you understand how vast God's authority is. And I also hope that you understand the spiritual order that is behind this visible world that we're seeing, and that you are assured that we are not alone in the universe, that your life is not isolated or insignificant as you think, because you're part of a grand cosmic narrative where the King of glory and the Lord of hosts commands. Even the term glory to God tells us a lot is an acknowledgement of the truth that all glory truly belongs to God. All the light of the stars, all the light you see in the universe, they all belong to Him. All glory to Him. Now, having introduced Yahweh Sabeoth, in the next episode, I'm going to teach you what the revelation of Yahweh Sabeoth can do for you and how you can invoke the power of Yahweh Sabayoth on your behalf.
