Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: [arche G746] - Principality:
beginning, government, rule," is used of supramundane beings who exercise rule, called "principalities;"
(a) of holy angels, Ephesians 3:10, the Church in its formation being to them the great expression of "the manifold (or "much-varied") wisdom of God;" Colossians 1:16;
(b) of evil angels, Romans 8:38; Colossians 2:15, some would put this under
(b) are indicated in Colossians 2:10. In Ephesians 1:21, the RV renders it "rule" (AV, "principality") and in Titus 3:1, "rulers" (AV, "principalities"). In Jude 1:6, RV, it signifies, not the first estate of fallen angels (as AV), but their authoriative power, "their own" indicating that which had been assigned to them by God, which they left, aspiring to prohibited conditions.
Principality - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Eph 6:12 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 in high places.
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Table of Nations (Gen 10) records 70 nations.
The Nation of Israel begins with 70 Hebrews migrating to Egypt (Ex 1:1-5).
The Lord Chooses Israel: Deut 7:6-8, Isa 44:1
Deut 32:
7 Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.
(MY NOTE: God chose ONE nation -Israel - to be the light/reveal HIM, to the other 69 nations. Each I believe, having a spiritual power/principality influence.
Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
(MY NOTE: This verse isn't talking about one of Persia's King Cyrus sons. The Prince/principality in this verse is withstanding a mighty angel, sent by God to guide Daniel!)
