Sense 2: throng of angels, ranks of angels

Semantic entry: 12.30

Semantic domains: Supernatural Beings and Powers

Subdomains: Supernatural Beings

Definition: (an idiom, literally: heavenly army) a large group or throng of angels

Notes: 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.’

Collocations: στρατιὰ οὐράνιος
