D. under the word Topical Lexicon Word Origin: This term is a transliteration from the Hebrew צְבָאוֹת (tseva'ot), which is the plural form of צָבָא (tsaba), meaning "army" or "host."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek "σαβαώθ" corresponds to the Hebrew צְבָאוֹת (H6635), which is used extensively in the Old Testament to describe God's role as the leader of the heavenly armies. This term is often found in conjunction with the divine name YHWH, forming the title "YHWH Sabaoth" or "LORD of Hosts." Usage: In the New Testament, "σαβαώθ" appears in contexts that emphasize God's might and sovereignty. It is used to convey the majesty and authority of God as the leader of the heavenly hosts. Context: The term "σαβαώθ" is a significant title for God, reflecting His role as the commander of the celestial armies. This title underscores God's omnipotence and His ability to execute His will through His divine forces. In the New Testament, "σαβαώθ" is used to remind believers of God's ultimate power and His ability to protect and deliver His people. The title "Lord of Hosts" is a reassurance of God's presence and His active involvement in the affairs of the world. It is a declaration of His sovereignty over all creation, both seen and unseen. The use of "σαβαώθ" in the New Testament serves to connect the early Christian understanding of God with the rich theological heritage of the Hebrew Scriptures, where God is frequently depicted as a warrior king who leads His people to victory.
