Against whom do we wrestle?
Answer
"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 [margin, wicked spirits] in high places [margin,
heavenly places]." Eph. 6: 12.
NOTE -- 'The facts of history concur with the statements of revelation in forcing upon us the
unwelcome conviction that the human race is subject to the malevolent influence of an organized and allpervading, demonism. Alike in the career of nations and in the phenomena of personal destiny the presence
of demoniacal skill and power is often prominent, frequently dominant, always evil."-"Footprints of Angels
in Fields of Revelation', by E. A. Stockman, page 2.
