Luke 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
This army of angels announces not war, but peace. God is sending His Ambassador, this Baby, to offer terms of peace with God. He is His glory, His plan. Lest we get the wrong idea about this phrase "with whom he is pleased," the idea is not that man has been so good God is sending them rewards, but that God is offering a gracious gift because He is good and loving and giving. It also implies that not everyone will receive this gift. He is being offered to those who will lovingly receive Him and accept Him as God's offer of peace.
