The armies of heaven are called out to follow the Mighty Warrior, Yahweh-Sabaoth, in warfare. The battle to be fought in the Garden of Gethsemane was not a military event requiring military force. I think it was a personal battle of holiness over evil, of right over wrong, of salvation over bondage, of life over death. That battle had to be fought with love and humility.
When the time comes for Christ to sound the call for the heavenly host to follow Him into battle, it will be the time for justice and judgment. He will be coming back with unimaginable, inescapable military might to execute the final stages of redeeming all that is rightfully His and banishing the very presence of sin. That battle will be fought with the fullness of His supreme power and majestic authority. Come quickly, Lord Jesus, come.

Jesus couldn't call for help in this battle although the host of heaven was patiently waiting for the order to march, this was one battle of all battle that was strategically meant to be won differently. Without resistance Jesus quietly, humbly and successfully defeated our eternal adversary. His life for my life, He died that I might live, the battle was won in the garden, and demonstrated its success on the cross.
Its not going to be pretty, now the heavenly host has been rallied for THIS DAY, for centuries they have been waiting for this day, when they will go forth to battle with a furious fury urged on by the Commanders voice to destroy without mercy.

Jesus did not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane because this was one battle He had to fight alone. He willingly went to the cross so that He could emerge victorious over sin and Satan.
In Revelation Jesus leads the heavenly host in victory against the anti-christ and his minions.

The Garden was a battle that Jesus was fighting for the Father God, He said that all prophicies might be fulfilled. He was doing the Father will and not His own. He was sent for just that moment in time and for that puurpose to die that we might live through HIm being drawn to the Father through His great love and compassion for us.
The coming in Revelations will be the Hour of Christ. When HE returns to claim what is already His alone. To redeem those who refuse to take the mark of the beast who chose the right hand of God as their resting place. When He calls out His army they will answere and the evil of this world will flee like the unclean spirits into the herd of swine but this time there will be no where to flee but the lake of fire. Christ will rule and His power will last for ever.

Jesus could not call them because the battle was for HIM to fight alone for the sciptures to be fullfilled. The battle was for the remission of our sins. He was brutalised for me and for you inorder to bring us to God. If HE had sought for help, the scripture would not have been fullfilled.His life was staked for me to live. What a great love HE showed on us.
When HE calls on the heavenly host to join HIM in battle, it will be a time of judgement when the supreme power will manifest itself. A time to prove the supremacy of HIS Lordship. Atime when sin will be wiped out from the face of the earth. What a wonderful and glorious time it will be.

Jesus could have called upon the heavenly host and been delivered from the suffering and crucifixion that He was soon to endure; but because He loves us, He chose to stand fast and deliver the sinners of the world instead through His own death and resurrection. Had He actually called on the angels to deliver Him, the transaction would have been forfeit and humanity would have been left without our Saviour. Jesus conciously chose to refrain from calling the heavenly host so that we could be delivered from sin and spend eternity with Him.
When Jesus DOES in fact call the heavenly hosts, multitudes of angels immediately report to do His bidding.

Jesus did not ask God the Father to send the legions of Angles to him
to assist him or help because then the Scriptures or revelation of how the world would recieve
a savior and it would be Jesus God's son would not be fulfilled. Jesus had to die , had to face
all this tortuer and suffering alone and then arise after giving his life. That was the Father God's
pland and he wanted to cooperate and bring this plan to fullness.
In Revelations it reveals that Jesus has all the legions of angles and whomever he asks for at
his disposal to fight and rule. But God was planning that since we do not have the where with
all to save ourselves he had to have his Son Jesus die and fulfill the punishment that is death
Sin was meant to bring death only Jesus took on death and died and rose again and paid for
sin past present and future......
But had he taken help and refused to die or put off death the plan of God the Father would
not have been fulfilled at the fullenss of time when God had wanted it.

Q3. (Matthew 26:53) Why did Jesus not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane?
This is something He had to do alone. Because he loves us He became the sacrificial Lamb and He defeated death.
What happens when does he does call on the heavenly hosts? (Revelation 19:11-16)
He will return to defeat His enemy.

If we meet today and you forget me, you have lost nothing. But if you meet Jesus Christ and forget Him, you have lost everything.
There is more joy in Jesus in 24 hours than there is in the world in 365 days. I know, I've tried them both.

He did not call upon the host of heaven because He came so He might die for all mankind and He being God in the flesh knew that they had the ability to save Him. Here again He laid down His life for us so we might be saved.
When He calls all of heaven mounts upon war horses and joins Him in the fight to rescue those that belong to Him and the Heavenly Father. Tell me if anyone else but the Son of the Living God would do that and what other god has an army that can wirh stand His army, there is done because He rules the universe.

Jesus didn't call upon the angels to attend him because this was the Father's plan that he would suffer and be crucified and be risen again If as times before when he was fasting and after he was tempted the angels attended to his needs

Jesus did not call on the heavenly host in the Garden because if He had, the Scriptures and the promise of a Redeemer would not be fulfilled. When He does call on the heavenly host in Revelation, the "armies in heaven" are at His disposal, following Him "on white horses." He wil judge and make war and strike the nations, ruling them with a rod of iron. What a Mighty God we serve!

It was a battle he had to fight alone, to fulfill the prophesy in scripture and to fulfill his Fathers will.
When the time is right he will call on the heavenly host to support him in battle, to end the war against evil..

Jesus did not call on the heavenly host because the battle was won before it even started. It was not a battle that was going to be won by death, swords, and useless fighting. Gethsemane was the chosen place for Jesus to win this battle. Even though Jesus wase ultimateley crucified he had won his battle because he saved his faithful followers from sin.
When Jesus does call his hevaenly hosts it is going to be the battle of all battles. He again will be triumphant, Oh what a beautiful day it will be.

Jesus did not call on the heavenly host in Gethsemane because they would not have let men mistreat and crucify Him. They are always ready to fight and, with power from God, they certainly vanquish and win. It was not the right moment for them to act, but it was the moment for Jesus to carry out the salvation of the world through His death. But Jesus will call on His host when the time of mercy will be over and God’s justice will be completely applied without delay.

Jesus did not call on the heavenly hosts in the Garden of Gethsemane that the writings of the propets might be fullfilled.
The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen. Jesus is thier commander. He leads the heavenly hosts into battle.

Jesus demonstrated perfect commitment to His Father's will . His Kingdom would not be advanced with swords but with Faith and obedience.
Jesus is above all Names , No Name can do Him justice. He is greater than any description or expression the human mind can device.
Jesus came at first as a Lamb to be a sacrifice for sin , but He will return as a congueror and King to execute judgment . Jesus' first coming brought forgiveness ; His second coming will bring judgment . The battle lines have been drawn between God and evil, and the world is waiting for the King to ride onto the field.

Jesus did not call on the heavenly host in the Garden of Gethsemane because what laid ahead for him was what he came to earth for. He must complete the way for man to be restored to the Father.

When Jesus calls on the heavenly host we see them accompanying Him fully regaled and ready for the assignment.

Jesus like all humans had free will. He was sent to earth to show us that doing God’s will is possible for humans once we accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord. (Romans 10:9-10). Though He didn’t want to have to suffer and die, He wants to follow the plan of God so that humans could be saved and go to heaven. God’s will was more important than anything he would have to go through on this earth. We need to follow Jesus’ example to please God.
When Jesus does call the host of heaven, the angels go to war and clean up all the wrong that humans has done in the world and kicks the devil and his demons from the earth. Those who have not chosen God’s plan for salvation are cast into the lake of fire along with Satan and his angels. As the song goes, “What a day that will be when my Jesus I will see….”
