Culture Wars – Its More Than Just Culture – Part 1
Biblical Life TV | UTK65A
At the Tower of Babel, God divorced humanity, and the nations were divided according to the number of the sons of God (Deut. 28:8-9 ESV). These sons of God became known as principalities, powers, and rulers, and they create the cultures of the nations they rule over. Paul calls the believer in Ephesians 6 to wrestle with the culture and to bring the Kingdom. Yet, today’s church has forgotten its mandate and is losing the culture wars. It is time to awaken from slumber, re-engage the enemy, and to become salt and light in the earth once more!

Are the elders sitting at the entrance of a city allegorical to the powers and principalities assigned to that city?
No, they are two separate things. In ancient times, the elders had meeting rooms and centers of business at the grates of the city. Principalities, Powers, and Rulers reside within the Second Heaven and the Greek is clear that these are ancient beings. In fact, Principalities in Greek means “the most ancient, first of creation.”
