THE FLEET OF YHOVAH  

            The reason for the title "The Fleet of Yhovah" is that over 200 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 a fleet 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 the those clouds are the flying chariots of fire of 2 Kings.  Thousands of them certainly constitute a fleet.  Bible text states that this fleet was involved in the creation of our current biosphere and will be the force that wrests control from the rebel angels that have power over the Earth and imprison these rebels for a 1000 year period.

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.  

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.

THE ARMY OF THE SKY BY THE THRONE
                        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 IN THE SKY
            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 hosts appears.

horses and 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.

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.  See 1Kings 22:19

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.

THOUSANDS OF  FLYING VEHICLES
            PSALMS  68:17  The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. 18  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
            The vehicles of Elohiym number a myriad of thousands. Twenty = Myriad.   However the word angels is taken from the word 'shinan' which means changes.  The specific meaning in this verse is not clear.  Elohiym ascends aloft.  See Rev. 5:11

ELOHIYM OF THE ARMY IN THE SKY
            PSALMS  80:14  Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
            Elohiym of the army is asked to look from the sky.

YHOVAH'S ARMY DESCENDS TO FIGHT
            ISAIAH  31:4  For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
            The army of the sky descends to engage in a physical battle.

A GREAT SPINNING FLYING ARMY CRAFT
            JEREMIAH  25:32  Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
            A great whirlwind will originate from the far corners of the Earth.

A SKY BATTLE
            DANIEL  8:10  And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
            Host = army
            
THE GREAT ARMY OF YHOVAH
            JOEL 2:10  The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:  11  And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
             Camp= army.

JESUS COMING ON HIS THRONE OF GLORY
            MATTHEW  25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
            Jesus will come in splendor and all the angels with him and he will sit on his throne. 

THE SKY ARMY APPEARS
            LUKE  2:13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  14  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
            Suddenly a large company of the army of the sky appeared and began praising God.

JESUS WILL COME FROM THE SKY WITH POWERFUL ANGELS
            2 THESSALONIANS   1:7  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 
            Jesus will be revealed in the sky. 

MILLIONS OF ANGELS
            REVELATIONS  5:11  And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
            Ten thousand = myriads.  Thousands = one thousand.   See  Psalms 68:17

A WAR IN THE SKY
            REVELATIONS  12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
           This is a war going on in the sky between the army of Yhovah and the forces of the Satan's rebel angelic army.

THE SKY ARMY OF JESUS  
            REVELATIONS  19:11  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.  12  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  13   And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.  14   And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
            The army of Jesus comes out of the sky.  Whether Jesus and his army are riding white horses or in white vehicles can only be determined in the context of the overall revelation.  See verses, 14:14  and  20:11

THE LAST GREAT BATTLE 
            REVELATIONS  19:17  And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;  18  That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.  19  And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.  20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.  21  And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
            The armies of the world gather to fight against Jesus and his army.
