I'm presuming that folks are interested in this lord sabboth character and how you came to meet him. Maybe i'm not following along so well, but you seem to have taken a major left turn from reality. I would like to read more about the " Captain of the Host of Heaven "
Because i cant seem to find mention of him in the Bible.
Sorry, misspelling
Lord Sabaoth -
of Hebrew origin (tsaba' in feminine plural); armies; sabaoth (i.e. tsebaoth), a military epithet of God:--sabaoth.

Angels are referred to as "holy ones" Zechariah 14:5 and "watchers" Daniel 4:13. They are spoken of as the "host of heaven" Deuteronomy 17:3 or of "Adonai" Joshua 5:14. The "hosts," צבאות
Tzevaot in the title
Adonai Tzevaot (alternatively,
Adonai Tzivo'ot), Lord of Hosts, were probably at one time identified with the angels. The identification of the "hosts" with the stars comes to the same thing; the stars were thought of as being closely connected with angels.
However, God is very jealous of the distinction between Himself and angels, and consequently, the Hebrews were forbidden by Moses to worship the "host of heaven". It is probable that the "hosts" were also identified with the armies of Israel, whether this army is human, or angelic. The New Testament often speaks of "spirits," πνεύματα (Revelation 1:4).
Prior to the emergence of monotheism in Israel the idea of an angel was the
Malach Adonai, Angel of the Lord, or
Malach Elohim, Angel of God. The
Malach Adonai is an appearance or manifestation of God in the form of a man, and the term
Malach Adonai is used interchangeably with Adonai (God). (Exodus 3:2 - 4) (Exodus 13:21 with Exodus 14:9).
Those who see the
Malach Adonai say they have seen God (Genesis 32:30; Judges 13:22).
The
Malach Adonai (or
Elohim) appears to Abraham, Hagar, Moses, Gideon, etc., and leads the Israelites in the
Pillar of Cloud (Exodus 3:2).
The phrase
Malach Adonai may have been originally a courtly circumlocution for the Divine King; but it readily became a means of avoiding anthoropomorphism, and later on, when angels were classified, the
Malach Adonai meant an angel of distinguished rank.
The identification of the
Malach Adonai with the Logos, or the Second Personage of the Trinity, is not indicated by the references in the Hebrew scriptures; but the idea of a Being partly identified with God, and yet in some sense distinct from him, illustrates a tendency of Jewish religious thought to distinguish persons within the unity of the deity.
The Hebrew
Tzevaot is also Sabaoth.
As far as having relationship with God, the Father, that is entirely up for the Messiah to choose for whom He will reveal the Father.
(Jesus said...) All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Matthew 11. 27
For me, it was a heart's desire in my prayer time, study time and pursuit of knowing the Father as well.
It was when I began to study the various names and functions or characteristiscs of God, the Father, first person plural that the Lord began to share with me the different aspects of Himself.
And . . . as usual, those who see a brother or sister in error, rather than MOCKING, could have corrected it. Zadok knew EXACTLY what I was saying.
I am still all too human. Oh well, I am still who I am by God's grace.
