Ephesians 6:12
1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]For we wrestle not against flesh and [b]blood, but against [c]principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.

Footnotes
Ephesians 6:12 Secondly he declareth that our chiefest and mightiest enemies are invisible, that we may not think that our chiefest conflict is with men.
Ephesians 6:12 Against men, which are of a frail and brittle nature, against which are set spiritual subtleties, more mighty than the other by a thousand parts.
Ephesians 6:12 He giveth these names to the evil angels, reason of the effects which they work: not that they are able to do the same of themselves, but because God giveth them the bridle.

Jesus's state is the Church. The lie is in the separation. The big lie is that since Jesus isn't here on planet so to speak is that we are "free" to rule anyway these powers decide. The Gospel is a mission to reclaim the nations that started in Act's. The mission is a go and hasn't changed.

Plasm 82 declares:
82 1 The Prophet declaring God to be present among the Judges and Magistrates, 2 Reproveth their partiality. 3 And exhorteth them to do justice. 5 But seeing none amendment, 8 He desireth God to undertake the matter and execute justice himself.

A Psalm committeth to Aspah.
1 God standeth in the assembly of [a]gods: he judgeth among gods.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the [b]wicked? Selah.

3 Do right to the poor and fatherless: do justice to the poor and needy.

4 Deliver the poor and [c]needy: save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They know not and understand nothing: they walk in darkness, albeit all the [d]foundations of the earth be moved.

6 I have said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.

7 [e]But ye shall die as a man, and ye princes shall fall like others.

8 O God, arise, therefore judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit [f]all nations.

Again in 1 Cor. 6

2 [e]Do ye not know that the Saints shall judge the world? If the world then shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Know ye not that we shall judge the Angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

It's a good Gospel. It was appointed for all to die in Christ and all have. Let's bring these powers to the obedience of Christ.
