DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: heavenly army) a large group or throng of angels
Glosses: ['throng of angels', 'ranks of angels']
Comments: There may be distinct objections to speaking of στρατιὰ οὐράνιος as being a ‘heavenly army,’ though undoubtedly in earlier times the thought of angels being God’s military force would have been quite appropriate. Therefore, in place of some expression which may refer to an army or military unit, it may be possible to translate στρατιὰ οὐράνιος as simply ‘many, many angels’ or ‘row after row of angels.’

DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: army of heaven) the stars of heaven as symbols of various supernatural powers
Glosses: the stars of heaven
Comments: Since ‘the stars of heaven’ serve primarily as symbols of certain heavenly supernatural powers, it may be appropriate in some languages to speak of ‘the spirits of the stars in the sky.’ See also {D:1.5}.
