The Beings of the Bible

 Watchers

A Watcher from the Sky
♦  Daniel 4:13    I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
      A watcher comes down from the sky.        
♦  Daniel 4:23  And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
      Nebuchadnezzar is seeing this in a vision. 

Other Beings 

Bright, Shining River
♦  Daniel 7:10  A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
      A beam of light shown from him, millions served him, and hundreds of millions were in his presence.
A Golden Being 
♦  Daniel 10:5  Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: 
      A being, dressed in linen and gold, appears.  Girded = dressed. 
Flying Horses
♦  Joel 2:4  The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.  5  Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
      Horses= swift.
 Strange Beings On Strange Horses
♦  Revelation 9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
      It is not clear whether these are actually horses or devices.
Beings That Live In The Sky
♦  Revelation 12:12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.           
      Those that are already in the sky are lucky because Satan knows his time is short and he is in a rage. 

Hosts - The Army of Yhovah 

      The reason for the title "The Army of Yhovah" is that almost 300 times the God of the Old Testament is referred to as the Lord of hosts.  The word host is taken from, tsaba', pronounced tsaw-baw'; a mass of persons (or figuratively, things), especially reg. organized for war (an army).  This army has an armada of many thousands of chariots and millions of beings called the Malak or angels.  The chariots of God are also called chariots of fire and are described as flying.  It is also clearly stated that the clouds are his chariots.   Since Jesus is Yhovah of the Old Testament and because he will return coming in the clouds, it is doubtless that those clouds are the flying chariots of fire of 2 Kings. 

The Army Of Yhovah
♦  Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
      This verse shows another aspect of the nature of these supreme beings, they have an army.  The word host is taken from 'tsaba', which literally means an army.  This army is spoken of almost 300 times from the creation to Armageddon with the God Yhovah as its supreme commander.  Although it does function as a fighting army, this verse shows that combat is only one of its functions. 
God's Army
♦  Genesis 32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
      host = machaneh pronounced makh-an-eh', an encampment (of travellers or troops); hence, an army
A Captain Of Yhovah's Army
♦  Joshua  5:13  And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?  14   And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face  to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
      A high-ranking member of the Army of Yhovah hovering over him confronts Joshua.  
Battle In The Stars
♦  Judges 5:20  They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
      Unclear as to significance but this verse seems to be talking about a stellar battle.
Armies Of The Living God
♦  1 Samuel 17:26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
The Army Of The Sky By The Throne
♦  1 Kings 22:19  And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
      Yhovah is on his throne and the army of the sky are by his side.  Hosts = army.  
Spinning Chariots Of Fire Take Elijah
♦  2 Kings 2:11  And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12  And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
      Elijah and Elisha are talking and suddenly a bright, flying vehicle and a cavalry of bright, flying objects appear and Elijah ascends into the sky by a spinning-flying vehicle.  The word translated into horses, 'cuwc' means rapid movement or flight.  This cavalry of glowing vehicles is most likely the army spoken of where the word ‘hosts’ appears.
Chariots of Fire
♦  2 Kings 6:17  And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18  And when they came down to him,  Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
      The King of Syria has surrounded the city of Dothan where Elisha is and Elisha asks Yhovah to help him.  Suddenly the sky was filled with rapidly moving, bright, flying objects all around Elisha.  One or more flying objects descend to the ground and Elisha asks Yhovah to cause blindness to befall the surrounding army, which he does.  The army is captured and later Yhovah restores their sight.
Army of God
♦  1 Chronicles 12: 22  For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
The Sky Army And The Throne
♦  2 Chronicles 18:18  Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
      Yhovah is described as sitting on his throne, the army of the sky beside him. 
Sky Army Command
♦  Nehemiah 9:6  Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
      The army of the sky pays homage to Yhovah the creator and protector of all the skies.
The Number Of Yhovah's "Armies"
♦  Job 25:3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
