Question: Run through the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Mike introduces the passage: Ephesians 6:10-18. Paul draws on imagery of actual Roman military armor familiar to his first-century audience. The setup: 'Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, cosmic powers over this present darkness, spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.' Mike notes the phrase 'rulers, authorities, cosmic powers' is worth an independent study.
