Fact: Lord of hosts

The title Lord of hosts appears more frequently in Malachi than in any other OT book. Following the exile, Judah was a very small province within the vast Persian Empire. It had no army of its own, leaving its people painfully aware of how limited their resources were. Malachi wants to remind his people that God is in command of a great heavenly host that stands ready to defend Judah.
