In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe a multitude or a heavenly host, particularly in the context of angelic beings. The term conveys the idea of an organized, disciplined group prepared for battle or service.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of an army was central to the power and expansion of empires. Armies were not only military forces but also symbols of order, strength, and authority. In Jewish thought, the heavenly host was a familiar concept, representing the angelic beings who serve God and execute His will. This imagery is rooted in the Old Testament, where God is often depicted as the LORD of hosts, commanding both earthly and heavenly armies.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4759: στρατοπεδάρχης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">στρατοπεδάρχης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">στρατοπεδαρχου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">στρατόπεδον</span> and <span class="greek2">ἄρχω</span>) (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 73 (64)); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">the commander of a camp and army, a military tribune</span>: <span class="abbreviation">Dionysius Halicarnassus</span> 10, 36; <span class="abbreviation">Lucian</span>, hist. conscr. 22; (<span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">b. j.</span> 2, 19, 4). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">Praetorian prefect, commander of the praetorian cohorts,</span> i. e. captain of the Roman emperor's bodyguard: <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-16.htm">Acts 28:16</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> omit the clause, see Abbot in <span class="abbreviation">B.
