Kevin,
the word host in the English has some interesting connotations. Its literally means a great innumerable amount. The physical stars in our firmament are innumerable.
Lucifer/Satan is a Cherub also known as a Cherubim. interesting also is the stones he is comprised of are the same as the construction materials of the New Jerusalem.
to Get crystals and pearls large enough to build a city that size would take a host of time if limited to our current Time Quantum of 24/7. the earth has been brought from Eternity Gen 1:1 to a 24/7 Time Quantum (measurement) by Gen 1:3-5.
as soon as the light was brought in (God doesn't need light the darkness and the light are the same to him) he calls forth for light to be allowed to illuminate the darkness. Apparently this darkness was not something limited to the earths surface but a vast area around it. when it shined it created two opposing sides of the earth one in darkness and the other in light establishing our current time measurement 24/7. Everything that is created there after is affected by this time quantum (TQ) the evening and the morning are one day.
we, our atomic structure by which we are created, our sciences, our senses are all governed by this limited 24/7 365 days year TQ. Even our types of dating processes are all geared around what was established on the first day. before the first day it is obvious by Gen 1:1 there was no 24/7 TQ.
Some may feel this is a waste of time to study about time and its creation but it is very important for it is the first thing God created. not light as many supposed but time. that light he called forth was not to be part of the 24/7 TQ that is why later the Sun Moon and Stars are created to carry on the TQ to this date. they were created not just to give light.
anyway go easy, this issue is not anything to break freindships and fellowship over. It is just some fun Bible tossing.

Geologist,
If the earth was originally created for Angels why then is it not filled with them to complete the original purpose in Rev 22?
God's plans cannot be thwarted by Lucifer and his angels. But the Bible records no such purpose that the earth was created for angels. However if we connect the dots. the Earth was created, there was a throne that stumbled Lucifer (one he participated in building), then the earth has a 24/7 TQ created on it and all that GOD created on it, giving rise to man to serve in a temple to officiate the duties and offices with a mercy seat (throne), then in the End Rev 22 we see the Throne established for God's Son (the Light in Gen 1:2) for all eternity.
the earth was originally created as a place for the Son of God's throne, and Cherubs and Angels were to participate in its building as they are today (the New Jerusalem), and God original will for the Earth will be established in Rev 22 forever.
