Some Bible translations refer to these evil spiritual forces as "principalities." http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%206:11-13&version=NIV 2009-07-27T11:45:04-05:00 In a lot of ways, the Christian life were easier if it meant opposing an obvious, physical enemy who we could see and watch out for.
