The rebellious angels, cast out of heaven, were in Saint Paul's day believed to dwell "in the high places" or "in regions above" (Ephesians 6,2). Like the faithful angels (Ephesians 1; Colossians 1), they preserved their respective ranks in the fallen state. Of the evil spirits three classes at least are expressly mentioned in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 15; Ephesians 6; Colossians 2). In Jude 1:1, "principalities" denotes rather the dominion or province or their former power before the fall.
