UNDERSTANDING DEMONIC INFRASTRUCTURES

Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities (Arkhay, in the original Greek), against powers (Exooseeah), against the rulers (Kosmokratore) of the darkness (Skotos) of this world, against spiritual (Pnyoomatikos) wickedness (Ponayreeah) in high places (Epooraneeos).”
• Arkhay = Principalities: Commencement, principal ruler, chieftain, arch or covering.
• Status: First in order, rank, time and space. Precedes all demonic powers; top.
• Assignment: To pervert all God given authority and religious principles.

• Exooseeah = Powers: Ability or privilege to enforce mastery of superhuman nature.
• Status: Has delegated influence or jurisdiction over a specific area.
• Assignment: To pervert thrones, governments, princedoms and virtues.

• Kosmokratore = Rulers: Stolen dominion of a period or interval of time. (Curses)
• Skotos: (of) Obscurity: Shade or shadows. (Lack of knowledge or willful ignorance)
• Status: The force behind all disorder, lawlessness, lewdness.
• Assignment: Everything that would weaken godly rule for the purpose of seizing and/ or retaining control.

Pnyoomatikos = Spiritual: Non­carnal. Wicked spirits in the lower heaven.
Ponayreeah = Depravity: Who bring perversion, malice, plots of sins. (Malevolence)
Epooraneeos = High: Their assignment is to create an atmosphere of tolerance and self-indulgence.
Status: Operates in the soulish realm, to manipulate the human senses. (Sensuality)

So that our warfare is not against humanity’s failings and frailties, but rather against a chief ruling spirit whom the Bible identifies as the devil and Satan. This chief fallen spirit leads all the workers of perversion who try to hinder the work of God’s benevolence towards mankind as presented in the Word of God, from reaching us.

This chief fallen spirit, the devil; delegates power of a supernatural nature to his wicked spiritual minions who take advantage of mankind’s lack of knowledge or willful ignorance regarding unbroken curses that hang over humanity. So that the depravity of the devil and his fallen angels is brought to fruition within the human race and is tolerated by humanity because of their sensual appeal to our fallen nature.

1 John 2:16 “…the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.”

1 John 3:8 “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”

Luke 10:18­20 “And He said to them, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you (the believers) the authority (Exooseeah) to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (the devil), and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.’”
The believers whose names are written in heaven have been empowered to wrestle against the spiritual forces that operate in the darkness of this world and to overcome them through powerful targeted intercession.

An intercessor is one who is in a position to mediate on behalf of another.

The believers whose names are written in heaven, and to whom this fallen spirits are subject to, have access in the Name of Jesus to the only omnipotent ruler of all creation, God Himself, to mediate on behalf of those who do not, will not or cannot.

My hope is that in this manual, you, whose names are written in heaven, will find the revelation knowledge that will empower you to bring deliverance from the works of darkness, through powerful intercession, into whatever situation Jesus is leading you to intercede for on behalf of mankind, as we expose the works of darkness to the light of the precious Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
UNDERSTANDING BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM

Ezekiel 28:2 “...Because your heart is lifted up, and you say ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, in the midst of the seas...’”

Rabbinical teachers interpret the Old Testament as having four different levels of interpretation or understanding. The four Gospels were written to conform to these four levels of interpretation and revelation, since they represent the fulfillment of many of the prophecies hidden in the Old Testament.
1) Peshat: The Simple or elementary level; the plain writing of the Scriptures.
a) The Gospel of Mark is written in this level, short and simple. Jesus is revealed to us as a Servant. No pedigree or genealogy is given about Him, servants have none.
b) Mark 9:35 “And He sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
2) Remez: The Hint or practical level of interpretation of Scripture. Allegorical and philosophical.
a) The Gospel of Luke was written to conform to this philosophical level. Jesus’ humanity is represented here. That is why God chose a doctor to write it, and the human genealogy of Jesus which is given here, takes us all the way back to the first human.
i) Luke 3:38 (Jesus the son of, who was)…“The son of Adam, the son of God.”
b) Luke 17:37 “And they answered and said to him, ‘Where Lord?’ So He said to them, ‘Wherever the body is, there the eagles will gather.’”
i) The above Scripture hints that there is a different level of understanding and sophistication that is needed to fully comprehend what Jesus was telling them.
3) Drosh: The Regal level is a far more sophisticated level of interpretation. This level will require the elements of solving riddles.
a) The Gospel of Matthew was written in this level, and the genealogy of Jesus takes us up to Abraham the Patriarch of the nation of Israel and father of all the children of faith. Jesus is represented here as the King of the Jews and spiritually speaking as the King of kings and Lord of lords as well.
b) Matthew 27:37 “And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
i) As we enter into this level of Scripture revelation, we find an anointing of authoritative power to enforce the spiritual ordinances not just within our natural physical realm that we influence, but to the level of enforcement that applies to the spirit of the law as it pertains to the demonic levels of principalities and powers.
ii) Proverbs 25:2 “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.”
4) Sohd: The Secret level, it lifts us into the heavenly places to view the secret aspects of the Scriptures.
a) The Gospel of John is full of these secrets. In John 1:1 the eternal genealogy of Jesus is given; “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” In John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
b) John 16:25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.”
The first letter in each of these four methods — PRDS — combine to spell out the Hebrew word for Paradise or the third heaven according to 2 Corinthians 12:2­4.

Understanding the mechanics of these four levels of the revelation of the Word of God will take us back to the dominion that Adam and Eve forfeited in the garden, when they allowed Satan to steal it from them.

2 Corinthians 12:2­4 “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago — whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows — such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man — whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows — how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”

Paradise is the name of the third heaven, the place where God’s seat of power is and from where He rules over His creation.
APPLICATION OF BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM

Revelation 13:1 “And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea (Ezekiel 28­2 Midst of the sea). He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.”

The midst of the sea symbolizes the seat of power of the chief spiritual ruler (principality), in this case the dragon or devil. His seat of power is in the second or lower heaven biblically speaking; humanly known as the underworld or the occult.

Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image — any likeness of anything that is in heaven above (third heaven/Paradise), or that is in the earth beneath (our physical realm, the cosmos), or that is in the water under the earth (heaven below/underworld).”
Here we see the third heaven or heaven above from where God rules, separated from the water under the earth or the lower heaven where Satan’s seat of power is, by the physical (the cosmos) realm called earth.

Genesis 1:6­8 “Then God said, ‘Let there be a firmament (an expanse) in the midst of the waters (heaven above/heaven below), and let it divide the waters from the waters.’ Thus God made the firmament (physical realm/expanse to separate between the two), and divided (separated the spiritual realm) the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven (is important to note that the physical realm is also called heaven, the first heaven by implication)…”

Strongs concordance # {7549} ["yqir; — raqiya`, raw­kee'­ah; from 7554; properly, an expanse, i.e. the firmament. {7554} [q"r; — raqa`, raw­kah'; a primitive root; to pound the earth.

So that there is a struggle between us earthlings who pray to our Father in Heaven
(above) for His will to be done here on earth (terra firma­ment) as it is in Heaven. And the demonic spirits that the earthlings that have been taken captive by the snares of the devil, have summoned through their occultist practices and ways, from the hidden heaven below (spiritual realm of the underworld).

2 Timothy 2:26 “And that they may come to their senses (the humans that violate God’s spiritual laws) and escape the snare of the devil (through the power of our intercession), having been taken captive by him to do his will.”
