To whom is Peace? (Endnotes)

1. I say “heavenly army” while most translators say, “heavenly host.” The Greek is stratia, and it was a common word for an army or band of soldiers. Robertson (Word Pictures in the New Testament) writes: “A military term for a band of soldiers common in the ancient Greek.” Close

2. We believe that Jesus was born in September, not December. Cp. Ernest L. Martin, The Star that Astonished the World (ASK Publications, 1991), Victor P. Wierwille, Jesus Christ Our Promised Seed (American Christian Press, New Knoxville, OH, 1982). For further study on when Jesus was born, click here. Close
