12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Who are the principalities and powers?
One of St. Paul's contributions to our understanding of the powers of evil is to sum them up in the phrase ' principalities and powers '. For him they represent the sum-total of evil powers that threaten men both heavenly and earthly.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood and even in a democracy there are principalities and powers of darkness which is really spiritual darkness that fight against righteousness of God. Ephesians 6:12 These things exist that are unseen to the eye. We can get into the host of all of these things that people do when they disobey the God that they don't know such as tattooing their bodies, piercing their bodies, worshiping idols and living a life of sexual immorality and evil being the absence of good. Again I came across images and a video of a bunch of teens fighting and it is shocking and shows there is no common sense of righteousness whatsoever. You see we wrestle not against flesh and blood . Pride and arrogance is many people's best friend but not God. Remember Christ said if you use your hands or eyes or a part of your body to do evil you will answer for it. Zacharias 13:6. Micah 7:3 Matthew 5:29 Well that's the truth and God did create hell to be everlasting. That means without foreseen end and there are levels of punishment in hell. People try to make sense of evil and this world is full of it. People doing drugs and smoking cigarettes and putting that smoke in the air and other people getting cancers from their second hand smoke shows that they're selfish including driving drunk. Stealing cars and what is not yours is also selfish because you did not earn it. Hell boils over. You see God is a just God and he's merciful but when you die in your sins unrepented you will face a judgment that is forever darkened but it doesn't scare people because they can't see it. You see if God was to send a vision from heaven and show what punishment awaits them after this life then he would be scaring them into righteousness. There would be no faith. You have free will. You choose heaven or hell. Lucifer who became Satan made a choice to tempt Adam and Eve. People have free will and they have a choice to accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as their lord and savior, repent of their sins and become children of God. Christ gave the great commission to go make disciples. Matthew 28:18-20 To turn people from Satan on to God but people don't understand the meaning of life. I mean you have people winning lotteries and if you research some of these things it's devastating in the end. People want luxury and remember the man who went to hell for not feeding Lazarus was a rich man. Luke 16:19 to 31 So God does punish the unjust but he's also merciful to a point. As humans we wonder why a world exists with such evil and that is because there was a fall in heaven which was a war and God created a physical environment which is the Earth to suit his purposes and his will. Isaiah 14:12 In this life you have a chance to get it right because it is appointed for man to die once and then the judgment. Hebrews 9:27 You put on the news it's in your face regardless and you can see the evil in men in the wars that are apparent and the nuclear weapons that are being developed/tested and eventually will be used. The Bible speaks of Armageddon. We know about the a tomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Aug 6, 1945 – Aug 9, 1945 so we know the heart is abundantly wicked. If you examine the crime statistics around the world from Nations and Nation in different capacities you will be shocked. You could examine the crime in Nations also by religion. Not all nations are democratic. Now not to get into a huge topic on all of that was said here but you have a chance at salvation because God gave us a savior named Jesus Christ of Nazareth. When was the last time you read the Bible. I strongly suggest that King James Bible . When was the last time you seeked God. Perhaps you don't know him. Maybe you're an atheist or a religious individual that is lost. You have a friend that will never leave you nor forsake you and his name is Jesus Christ. Religion will let you down. Your friends will let you down. People will leave you in this life but Christ will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews Chronicles Joshua John Ezekiel judges Etc
