Unusual Introduction with "Lord of Hosts"

Post by Chris Watts »

I have searched the best I can so would welcome either confirmation or otherwise: That Haggai introduces himself and the Lord by: thus says the Lord of Hosts. I have not found any other such introduction when someone (a prophet) has introduced the word of God by saying "thus says the Lord of Hosts". Am I correct?

There are many many cases of כה אמר ה צבאות.

Maybe I didn't understand you?
