Satan's demons rule over territories. The ranks get lower as the territories gets smaller. There was a demon prince over Persia that held up the messenger angel sent by God to Daniel for 21 days. An earthly prince could not of lasted 21 seconds against an angel. Remember the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. There was the demon prince assigned over Persia (now called Iran), and Greece had one too. Maybe each continent has a demon king over it, each country a demon kings and princes (Iran, and Greece do). Then all states have a demon archduke, and counties have a duke all the way to down to you and me having demons assigned to us. The legion of demons did not want to leave their country because demons are territorial.
Daniel 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
In Daniel 10:13 the Greek translation for kings is meh'-lek which means king single or royalty and not kings plural.
Demons are territorial
Mark 5.9. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country (geographical region).
Satan is not Omnipresence. He can't be everywhere at one time like God can. He is limited by time and space like we are. He is a created being Ezekiel 28:15.
I am using the ranks of the United States Army to show you how organized Satan's Army is. Now one knows exactly how his army works, but the Bible lets us know that Satan has an army of demons to help him carry out his evil plot to destroy mankind. His army is divided into territories, ranks of evil powers and rulers. The ranks get smaller as the territories get smaller. Satan has an army of demons just like God has His army of angels.
Satan is Commander in Chief of his very well organized army of demons. More than any other army in the world except for God's army.
A five star demon General has been assigned to each continents
A Demon General and A Demon Colonel have been assigned to each country just like a King and a Price over Persia
A demon Major has been assigned to rule over each state in the United States
A demon Major has been sent to rule over my state North Carolina
A demon Captain rules over Brunswick County where I live
A demon Lieutenant has been given power to rule over the township of Supply where I live.
A demon Sergent Major rules over subdivisions
A demon Sergent Major rules over Fisherman's Village where I live
A demon First Sergeant rules over Aster Lane the street that I live on
A demon Staff Sergeant has been given power to rule over my house
A demon Sergeant is assigned to everyone on my street
A demon Sergeant was assigned to me from Satan and a very early age
That demon Sergeant has demon Corporals under his command
The demon Corporals have privates and non ranking demons under them working together to take me down
Ephesians 5:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
We are close combat fighting against:
Principalities: rulers of territories and rulers of smaller territories
Powers and Rulers: one who commands his territory with authority Darkness: absent of visible light
Wickedness: very destructive, evil
In High Places: the second heavens, spiritual: not tangible or material
When wrestling an opponent you want to knock them down, get on top of them while they are down, and pin them for the win. We wrestle against Satan's army of demons and they are trying to defeat each one of us.
