Verse 21
21. All principality, and power See our note on Romans 8:38. The entities named by the apostle as those over whom Christ is exalted are abstract dignities, not real personal beings. His person is over all other personal beings, because his rank is above all other ranks. Personal natures are often mentioned in Scripture, as cherubim, seraphim, angels, and archangels. And in all scenic or apocalyptic representations these personal beings appear. No commentator has given any clear distinction between the entities of this verse. The apostle mentions these entities simply as indicating that such varied supernal dignities do exist, but that in what they consist he does not claim to personally know, or find it in his inspiration to reveal.
Every name Whatever name you utter, the name of Christ is its superior.
This world This time-world. So that through all future aeons, or time-worlds, Jesus is the supreme name.
