The Five Divisions of Demons

Spirits

Eph 6:12: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Principalities

But against principalities - There can be no doubt whatever that the apostle alludes here to evil spirits. Like good angels, they were regarded as divided into ranks and orders, and were supposed to be under the control of one mighty leader; see the notes on Eph_1:21: It is probable that the allusion here is to the ranks and orders which they sustained before their fall, something like which they may still retain. The word "principalities" refers to principal rulers, or chieftains.

Powers

Those who had power, or to whom the name of "powers" was given. Milton represents Satan as addressing the fallen angels in similar language: "Thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers."
World rulers of darkness
Men possessed by demonic powers.; that is, over wicked men in it, who are in a state of darkness itself; and so Satan is called the prince, and god of the world, John 12:31: The Jews use this very word, the apostle does here, of the angel of death; who is called darkness ; and the devil is called by them, "the prince of darkness"; and mention is made by them of, "the darkness of the world"; from whom the apostle seems to have taken these phrases, as being in common use among the Jews; who also use it of civil governors, and render it, as here, "the rulers of the world", and say it signifies monarchs, such as rule from one end of the world to the other: some copies, and the Ethiopic version, leave out the phrase, of this world. Governments and rulers in high place, which are ruled by Satan himself.

Wicked Spirits

Against spiritual wickedness in high places; or wicked spirits, as the devils are, unclean, proud, lying, deceitful, and malicious; who may be said to be in "high" or "heavenly places"; not in places super celestial, or in the highest heavens, in the third heaven, where God, angels, and saints are; but in the aerial heavens, where the power or posse of devils reside, and where they are above us, over our heads, overlooking us, and watching every advantage against us; and therefore we should have on our armor, and be in a readiness to engage them; and so the Syriac and Ethiopic versions render it, "under", or "beneath heaven"; and the Arabic version, "in the air".

The Underworld (Sheol)

Tartarus – Prison of the fallen Angels ( 2 Peter 2:4-10; Jude 6:-7)
Paradise – Or Abraham's Bosom, For the righteous dead, has been relocated to heaven Great Gulf - or the bottomless pit. Satan will be imprisoned for 1000 years.
Hell - of the wicked dead.
The Lake Of Fire – Final destination for Satan, Antichrist, false prophet The false church and Unbelievers.

8 months ago: Saying that won't make it disappear, you are only digging a deeper hole.
8 months ago: What is supposed to disappear? The things that someone imagined? They imagined them, not me so I have nothing to fear. Only deep holes I've been digging were for septic tanks and they have been filled with tanks and dirt.

Anyone who lives on this planet must realize that when we want to do good, we are opposed. Opposed in the flesh and in the spirit. It is in the overcoming of the opposition that we gain strength and increase faith.

As believers we fight from victory, but victory is never handed to us. It must be taken. We grit our teeth, dig in our heels and lay hold of it until the promised manifestation. This can often be painful or difficult, even confusing, but that's the excitement of living.

To God be the glory.
