Casting Out Evil Spirits and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places — Scripture and Understanding
The Bible teaches that the true battle is spiritual, against “spiritual wickedness in high places” and unclean/demonic forces, and that believers have authority in Christ to resist and cast out such spirits through prayer, submission to God, and the armor of God

OpenBible.info

Biblical Basis for Spiritual Wickedness in High Places
Ephesians 6:12 states: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places”

Bible Hub

Paul describes these as spiritual hosts of wickedness — organized, hostile forces opposed to God, operating in a “heavenly places” realm that influences the physical world

GotQuestions.org
. This “high places” language also appears in Ephesians 2:2, describing the “prince of the power of the air” and the “god of this world” who blinds unbelievers

OpenBible.info
.

Other passages:

James 4:7 – “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”

Acts 16:18 – Paul commands an unclean spirit to leave a girl, and it departs

biblestudyforyou.com

Luke 10:19 – Jesus gives His disciples authority to trample snakes, scorpions, and the enemy’s power

Casting Out Evil Spirits
Scripture affirms that believers have authority in Christ to confront and expel demonic influence:

Matthew 10:1 – Jesus gave the disciples authority to drive out impure spirits

biblestudyforyou.com


Mark 16:17 – Those who believe will, in His name, drive out demons

biblestudyforyou.com

Acts 16:18 – Paul commands a spirit to leave, and it obeys

biblestudyforyou.com

Practical steps from the Bible:

Submit to God – James 4:7; resist the devil and he will flee

biblestudyforyou.com

Pray in the name of Jesus – Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17; Acts 16:18

biblestudyforyou.com

Wear the armor of God – Ephesians 6:10–18; stand firm against schemes of the devil

GotQuestions.org

Believe God’s Word – Faith in Christ’s victory over the enemy is the foundation for casting out spirits

biblestudyforyou.com

Theological Context

"Evil in high places” refers to demonic powers influencing both the spiritual realm and earthly affairs

Bible Hub
. The Bible presents this as part of the cosmic conflict between God and Satan, with believers called to stand firm, resist, and declare God’s truth over any demonic influence

Bible Hub

In summary: The Bible teaches that spiritual wickedness in high places is real and organized, but believers have authority through Christ to resist and cast out such spirits by submitting to God, praying in His name, and standing in the armor of God

Paul is identifying who the Winds of Heaven were as being "the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places" who were the four/five beats of Daniel 7:2-12.

The entity type of the beasts, in Daniel 7, are wicked, rebelling, fallen heavenly hosts who stirred up the sea of humanity such that they manifested the dominate characteristic of the respective beasts. In our earthly dominion the respective beasts dominate characteristic are manifester in the people groups, kingdoms and empires who have chosen to inhabit their chosen's beasts' dominion. The people groups, kingdoms and empires over time ebb into and out of the beasts' respective dominions such that we can observe through history this natural infusion and rejection of their respective beast's dominion.

The third beasts' manifestations in people groups, kingdoms and empires can be seen in the following groupings, Assyria, Babylon, the Medes and Persians empire, the Grecian's empires of which the Seleucid Grecian Empire held dominion over the Land of Babylon after the death of Alexandra the Great in 323 BC, the Roman Empire etc up and until this present time when these empires have also inhabited the third Beasts' dominion which includes, Spain, Portugal, Dutch, French, British, Germany, etc. and today we also see the USA, Russa, China and India being influenced by the Third Beast of Daniel7:2-12.

Around the year 2024-2045 AD the beasts will be judged along with the kings of the earth and removed from the face of the earth for a period of 1,000 years before the influence of Satan and his five beasts will be allowed for a little while period before the end of the Seventh Age.

After 2044-2045 AD God's promised time of peace in the earth for Israel, scattered though all of the earth will endure until Satan, his five beasts and the kings of the earth are released during the Little While Period of around 24 years so that the great tribulation can unfold.

Shalom

2044-2045 AD. Why? Because that chart you've been showing to everyone says so?
