This below was very interesting. Are you talking about angels? Or Satan's fallen angels? Do you mean they are ruling through the human authorities on the earth now? Or am I completely missing what you are saying below?
The word says:
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
If these spiritual beings are our real enemies as Christians then they are Christ's enemies as well.
The Apostle Paul tells us:
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 1 Corinthians 15:20-25
Verse 25 above tells us that Christ must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet, which would include those beings mentioned in Ephesians chapter 6.
The book of Hebrews tells us that this is not yet the case.
You have made him a little lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
And set him over the works of Your hands.
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. Hebrews 2:7-9
The scriptures don't give great detail upon the structure of the heavenly hierarchy, but they do tell us that heaven reigns over men.
‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.’ Daniel 4:17
Daniel 4:17 above tells us that these angelic beings observe men and judge them on behalf of God, under His authority. 1 Corinthians 15:20-25 tells us that this hierarchy persists until the Lord places all His enemies (including those hosts of spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places) under His feet.
Jesus said:
34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
Since a footstool is where you rest your feet, the implication is that God places those enemies in the heavenly places upon Earth. While we have one passage about the dragon and a third of the host being cast down, we also have passages about the entire host falling from heaven or
being diminished and wearing away:
All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down
As the leaf falls from the vine,
And as fruit falling from a fig tree.
5 “For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom,
And on the people of My curse, for judgment. Isaiah 34:4-5
These verses from Isaiah are from the great apocalyptic passage about the day of the Lord's vengeance and describe the judgment of heaven itself.
It may seem like a bit of a stretch to say that these angelic beings will be made to live as men, but we have other verses which confirm that at least one will be. It's a long passage, but I'm referring to the fall of Lucifer in Isaiah 14 and :
“Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Isaiah 14:16
I don't believe that God, who is entirely just, would give Lucifer the opportunity to live as a man without extending that gift to all. Men are the inheritors of creation, not angels. Will God cast away those "sons of the morning" without regard to their service? That doesn't sound like the God I've come to know. If anything, the faithful of the heavenly host are more deserving of that inheritance than I am, so why wouldn't the Lord grant them grace to live lives as we do and be judged by law or granted mercy and grace even as we have opportunity? I only know of one standard of judgment as preached by our Lord, and He is the judge of the living and the dead, of heaven and of Earth.
