The name of “Jesus Christ Panthocrator†(All-powerful) expresses the idea of the unity of all “hosts†of the universe, subdued to the hierarchic principle. It can be found in the Biblical prophetic books in combination “God of the Hosts,†or all-powerful, “bishop of the powersâ€. “Hosts†meant the sun, the moon and the stars, forming the whole celestial host.
