“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:”
Colossians 1:15-16 KJV
Did you know that for everything listed here there is a visible and also invisible equivalent?
Jesus - made flesh is the image of the invisible God
Earth is the visible picture of Heaven (not the same but it’s like a shadow of it. Just like a King and a Principality are not the same but the King is the natural equivalent while in the Spirit, there is a being that is over that territory just like the King or President is the highest in authority in the natural.)
Throne - there the seats of political leaders, presidents, kings etc and also invisible thrones in the air and on land and in the sea
Dominion is a portion of territory- there are invisible lands that are ruled by invisible beings that also correlate to what we see visibly like mayors, governors, etc
Principality means first in rank- think president of the U.S. it’s a ruling spirit that sits on that throne reigning over a certain dominion
Powers are enforcers - no government or ruler can stand without police and military but think of powers as not just police but more like David’s Mughty Men.
This is true for both God’s side and the kingdom of darkness.
