“The Powers That Be”

Sunday, December 14, 2014

     In Isaiah 24:21, who are the "hosts of heaven on high" or "powers in the heavens above" (NIV)?

Sincerely,
Identity Verification

Dear Identity Verification,

The “hosts of the high ones on high” that Isaiah says will be punished and cast down are synonymous with the “spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” found in Eph 6:12.  These represent the spiritual powers that have attacked and attempted to devour mankind since the beginning.
