The term "LORD of Hosts" is frequently used in the Old Testament to highlight God's authority and might, especially in the context of judgment and deliverance (<a href="/1_samuel/17-45.htm">1 Samuel 17:45</a>). It reflects His role as a divine warrior who leads His people to victory and enforces His will.<p><b>will be exalted by His justice</b><br>God's justice is a central theme throughout the Bible, reflecting His moral perfection and fairness. In the context of Isaiah, this justice often involves judgment against sin and the vindication of the righteous. The exaltation of God through justice indicates that His righteous judgments reveal His glory and holiness. This is consistent with the biblical narrative where God's justice is both a cause for fear and a reason for worship (<a href="/psalms/99-4.htm">Psalm 99:4</a>).<p><b>and the holy God</b><br>The holiness of God is a foundational attribute, signifying His absolute purity and separation from sin. In Isaiah, God's holiness is a recurring theme, emphasizing His distinctness from His creation and His moral perfection (<a href="/isaiah/6-3.htm">Isaiah 6:3</a>). This holiness demands reverence and awe, and it is the standard by which all are judged.<p><b>will show Himself holy in righteousness</b><br>God's righteousness is His commitment to act in accordance with His nature and promises. It is through His righteous acts that His holiness is demonstrated to the world. This phrase suggests that God's actions, particularly His judgments, are a reflection of His holy character. The righteousness of God is also a theme that points forward to the New Testament, where it is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who embodies God's righteousness and offers it to believers (<a href="/romans/3-21.htm">Romans 3:21-22</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord_of_hosts.htm">The LORD of Hosts</a></b><br>This title emphasizes God's supreme authority and command over the heavenly armies.
