Demonic Hierarchy-cont.
Ephesians 6:10-12

• Rulers of Darkness of This World
(KOSMOKRATORAS): Refers directly to spiritual
princes who rule over nations. Every nation has
a ruling spirit (a prince) that expands and
furthers the kingdom of darkness. They draw
strength from the evil works/disobedience of
humanity in that region.

are evil and live in the atmosphere above the
Earth. Specific assignment is to lure
men/women away by their “own lusts” and
entice them to follow their way instead of
