In the context of Isaiah, it emphasizes God's role in delivering Israel from captivity and sin. The concept of redemption is central to the narrative of the Bible, with God acting as the ultimate Redeemer. This foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the Redeemer of humanity through His sacrificial death and resurrection.<p><b>the LORD of Hosts is His name</b><br>"LORD of Hosts" is a title that underscores God's supreme authority and power over all heavenly and earthly armies. It reflects His sovereignty and ability to execute judgment and deliverance. This title is frequently used in the Old Testament to remind Israel of God's unmatched power and His role as a divine warrior. It connects to passages like <a href="/1_samuel/17-45.htm">1 Samuel 17:45</a>, where David confronts Goliath in the name of the "LORD of Hosts," highlighting God's might in battles.<p><b>is the Holy One of Israel</b><br>The phrase "Holy One of Israel" emphasizes God's unique holiness and His special relationship with Israel. Holiness here denotes God's purity, separateness, and moral perfection. This title is used extensively in Isaiah, reinforcing the idea that God is distinct from all other gods and is deeply committed to His covenant with Israel. It also points to the call for Israel to be holy as God is holy, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>. This holiness is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who embodies the holiness of God and calls His followers to live holy lives.<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 over all heavenly armies and His sovereign power over the universe.

As such it finds a parallel in the overthrow of the mystical Babylon in <a href="/revelation/18-20.htm" title="Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God has avenged you on her.">Revelation 18:20</a>.<p><span class= "bld">Sit thou silent.</span>--Another contrast between the stir of the rejoicing city and the stillness of its later desolation.

It is certainly quite unlike anything else in the song, which would artistically be improved by its removal. If, however, it be retained, we must regard it as a parenthetic ejaculation of the Jewish Church on hearing the first strophe of the song - the Church contrasting itself with Babylon, which has no one to stand up for it, whereas it has as "Redeemer the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/47-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Our Redeemer—</span><br /><span class="heb">גֹּאֲלֵ֕נוּ</span> <span class="translit">(gō·’ă·lê·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular construct | first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1350.htm">Strong's 1350: </a> </span><span class="str2">To redeem, act as kinsman</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Hosts</span><br /><span class="heb">צְבָא֖וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(ṣə·ḇā·’ō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6635.htm">Strong's 6635: </a> </span><span class="str2">A mass of persons, reg, organized for, war, a campaign</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is His name—</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁמ֑וֹ</span> <span class="translit">(šə·mōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> </span><span class="str2">A name</span><br /><br /><span class="word">[is] the Holy One</span><br /><span class="heb">קְד֖וֹשׁ</span> <span class="translit">(qə·ḏō·wōš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6918.htm">Strong's 6918: </a> </span><span class="str2">Sacred, God, an angel, a saint, a sanctuary</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Israel.</span><br /><span class="heb">יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃</span> <span class="translit">(yiś·rā·’êl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> </span><span class="str2">Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/isaiah/47-4.htm">Isaiah 47:4 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/isaiah/47-4.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 47:4 Our Redeemer Yahweh of Armies is his (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/47-3.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 47:3"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 47:3" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/47-5.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 47:5"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 47:5" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
