Why does the phrase "the LORD of hosts" appear so frequently in Isaiah 19?
Isaiah 19:12 (ESV)
12Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you that they might know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
The Lord of hosts is a phrase that emphasizes God's great power. Even the Egyptians would have been aware of the works of the Lord. All the earth should have worshipped him.
