The title "LORD of Hosts" signifies God's command over the armies of heaven, indicating His supreme power. The "God of Israel" highlights His covenant relationship with the nation of Israel, reminding them of their unique status and responsibilities. This introduction sets the stage for a divine pronouncement, underscoring that the message is not from a human prophet but from God Himself. This echoes similar introductions in prophetic literature, such as in Isaiah and Ezekiel, where God asserts His authority before delivering a message of judgment or hope.<p><b>I will set My face to bring disaster</b><br>The expression "set My face" indicates a determined and resolute intention. In biblical terms, when God sets His face against someone, it signifies His active opposition and judgment (<a href="/leviticus/20-3.htm">Leviticus 20:3-5</a>). The disaster mentioned here is a direct consequence of Judah's persistent idolatry and rebellion against God. This phrase reflects the covenant curses outlined in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>, where disobedience leads to divine retribution. The disaster is not arbitrary but a fulfillment of the warnings given through the Law and the prophets.<p><b>and to cut off all Judah.</b><br>The phrase "cut off" implies complete destruction or removal. Historically, this refers to the impending Babylonian conquest and exile, where Judah would face severe punishment for its sins. The cutting off of Judah serves as a fulfillment of prophetic warnings given by Jeremiah and other prophets, such as in <a href="/jeremiah/25-9.htm">Jeremiah 25:9-11</a>, where the Babylonian exile is foretold. This judgment also serves as a type of the final judgment, where unrepentant sin leads to separation from God. Theologically, it underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of repentance to avoid divine judgment.<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 power over all heavenly and earthly armies.
