Psalm 84:1-12
Excerpted from: The Divine Warrior

Can you find any place in that psalm where it talks about armies? It does not. There are two mentions of shield in there, meaning that He is their protector, but nothing like that He goes to war for them or He beats down their enemies or any of that sort of thing.

What this shows you is that, at the time of this (this is a psalm of the sons of Korah, I do not know exactly when it was written, but probably David or Solomon's reign), but they had already come to understand that He was sovereign over everything and that He was their God and that is how they looked at it. The Lord of hosts maybe not ceased to refer specifically to God as a warrior, but more specifically it referred to God as their Sovereign, the One who took care of them, the One they wanted to dwell with.

And so you will find a lot of places in Scripture where the Lord of hosts has nothing to do with any kind of military conflict at all. But then again, you will find others where the Lord of hosts is actually doing a lot of Lord of hosting, if you know what I mean.

Psalm 84:1-2
Excerpted from: Jesus in the Feasts (Part Five): Tabernacles

What does that tell you? The sons of Korah made the connection for us, I long for Your tabernacle. And then by the time we get to the end of that chapter, my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. It is the same thing. It is a parallelism.
