Yahveh, the God of the Israelites who revealed his name to Moses, was Yahveh Sabaoth, the God of armies. |
When Sabaoth realizes that there is a higher realm, he undergoes a kind of conversion, condemns Ialdabaoth, and is enthroned above him. |
Sacred and inspired divinity, the Sabaoth and port of all men's labours and peregrinations. |
Two writings in the Nag Hammadi library, the Nature of the Archons and On the Origin of the World, contain a figure named Sabaoth, one of the sons of Ialdabaoth, who is reminiscent of Justin's Elohim. |
On this mountain Yahweh Sabaoth will prepare for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, meat full of marrow, fine wine strained. |
Yaldabaoth is indeed depicted both as the father of Sabaoth and as the begetter of the heavenly forces. |
