It is a military term and carries the idea of warfare. Angels are referred to as the “host,” which calls our attention to two ideas. First, it is used to describe God’s angels as the “armies of heaven” who serve in the army of God engaged in spiritual warfare (Ps. 89:6, 8; 1 Sam. 1:11; 17:45).
We read of Michael, the archangel (Jude 9; 1 Thess.4:16); angels, authorities, and powers -- which are supposedly ranks and orders of angels (1 Pet.3:22; Col.1:16). In the Apocryphal books we find a hierarchy with seven archangels, including Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel.

Jun 3, 2004 · An angel is a spirit being created by God and commissioned by Him for some special purpose in accordance with the outworking of His plan (e.g., Col 1:16; Heb 1:14). They have enormous, though limited (as a creature) power and knowledge.
Jul 1, 2007 · The angels who did not sin are referred to as “holy angels” (Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26). The angels are a mighty multitude. Without giving any hint as to their actual number, Scripture makes it clear that the angelic host is a vast and imposing army.
The angels, sometimes called ‘the sons of God’, constitute God’s heavenly council and court (Job 1:6; 1 Kgs 22:19–22) (White 2014), and this proximity to God makes them ‘holy’ (Ps 89 [88]:6–8). This heavenly court evolves in later Judaism into a liturgical assembly that celebrates God’s majesty.
Angels are intrinsically spiritual (i.e., soul-spirit) beings, as contrasted with man who is a soul-spirit being housed in a physical temple; that is, man is a creature with a physical + soul-spirit unity. Thus, angels are almost always invisible to our eyes and, in their normal activities, are not subject to the laws of nature as man is.
