Ephesians 1:21

Christ’s ascension has resulted in His exaltation over every other authority (cf. Colossians 1:16), human and angelic (cf. Philippians 2:8-11), present and future (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:23-28). The Jews believed angels controlled human destiny, but Paul saw Jesus Christ doing this. The rule, authority, power, and dominion in view are probably descriptions of evil angelic rulers.
