Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History
An Intimate Review
Pt 6
By Lawrence DeMetrius

Regarding Lucifer as the prince of the power of the air, Apostle Paul writes,
Wherein in time past ye WALKED according to the COURSE of THIS WORLD, according to the PRINCE of the POWER of the air, the SPIRIT that now WORKETH in the children of disobedience.
[Eph 2:2]

*walked Gk #4043 peripateo (per-ee-pat-eh-o) it means to…
• tread all around
• walk at large especially as proof of ability
• live, deport oneself or follow as a companion

Whether or not one believes it, any person who is not WALKING under divine influence, is blindly doing so under Lucifer’s influence. [Jn 8:12, 24; II Cor 4:3] Should one transition to immortality under Lucifer’s influence, their SPIRIT will inherit his fate, which is The Second Death. [St Jn 3:19, 36; Rev 20:10-15]

*course Gk #165 aion (ahee-ohn) it is…
• an age, perpetuity and past
• the world and a Messianic period both present or future

Here, Apostle Paul refers to a space in time, wherein Lucifer is permitted to rule. Just as it had an unfortunate beginning it also has a definite end.

* power Gk #1849 exousia (ex-oo-see-ah) it is...
• privilege, mastery and delegated influence
• force, capacity, competency and freedom
• a magistrate, superhuman, potentate and token of control

*air Gk #109 aer (ah-ayr) it is air as naturally circumambient, meaning encompassing and surrounding

*spirit Gk #4151 pneuma (pnyoo-mah) it is…
• a current of air, breath, blast or a breeze
• human rational soul, vital principle and mental disposition
• an angelic being, Yahweh, the mind of Christ or the Holy Ghost

Per this discussion, Apostle Paul is referring to Lucifer as the SPIRIT that now WORKETH in the children of disobedience, inclusive of disgraced angelic being and mortal beings.

*worketh Gk #1754 energeo (en-erg-eh-o) it means to be active and efficient

Concerning all entities that are now subject to Lucifer’s rule, Apostle Paul also writes,

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.
[Eph 6:12]

*principalities Gk #746 arche (ar-khay) it is a commencement and chief in various applications of order, time, place and rank

*rulers Gk #2888 kosmokrator (kos-mok-rat-ore) it is a world-ruler and an epithet of Lucifer

Apostle Paul uses plural of RULERS and Enoch mentions that Lucifer is just one of five SATANS. They are likely the other KOSMOKRATORS who from THE HIGH PLACES of the earth, aid Lucifer in administering his WILES against the children of earth. [Eno 69]

* darkness Gk #4655 skotos (skot-os) it is shadiness and obscurity

*spiritual Gk #4152 pneumatikos (pnyoo-mat-ik-oce) it means non-carnal meaning…
• humanly ethereal as opposed to gross
• demoniacally a spirit
• divinely supernatural, regenerate or religious…positively speaking
* wickedness Gk #4189 poneria (pon-ay-ree-ah) it is depravity, malice, plots and sins

*high places Eng
• high (adj)
o having a great or considerable extent or reach upward or vertically; lofty; tall
o having a specified extent upward
o situated above the ground or some base
o elevate, exalted in rank, station and eminence
o of exalted character or quality

• places
o a particular portion of space, whether of definite or indefinite extent
o space in general

This definitely denotes specific entities exercising specific activities from a specific location. While they have DESIGNATED INFLUENCE in the earthly realm, they are not from the earth realm. DEMONIC POWERS in the AIR are likely fallen cherub angles like Lucifer. [Isa 14:12-20; Lk 10:18; II Cor 4:3; 10:4, 5] These disgraced angels now work their WILES against the children of earth from below the first heaven, which is located just above the earth realm. [Eph 6:11] Per Enoch, there is a difference between DEMONS and EVIL SPIRITS. DEMONS are FALLEN CHILDREN OF HEAVEN, who now abide in the air of the earth realm. EVIL SPIRITS are SPIRITS OF THE EARTH, as they were initially procreated in the earth realm through mortal women. Their designated abode on earth is in the seas of the earth. Both DEMONS and EVIL SPIRITS are divinely set and permitted to attempt murder, theft, and destruction on earth. Per Jesus Christ, the sons of GOD are to address them daily during their prayer time to Yahweh. Christ instructs His brethren to command these MOUNTAINS to be removed and cast back into the sea from which they came. These SPACES refer to watery abodes under the earth or above it, meaning the air. [Mk 11:23, 24; Lk 10:19, 20] When Christ and His brethren speak of this WORLD, they are referring to the ORDERLY ARRANGEMENT of things as perpetrated by Lucifer. This is why Christ and His teachers clarify that all who choose to be in agreement with Yahweh through Christ, are no longer subject to Lucifer and his rule.
[Rm 6] The Elect are admonished to continue in the teachings of Jesus Christ, so they may secure salvation for their eternal spirit on The Final Day of Judgement. [Jn 15:1-5; Heb 10:23, 26, 27, 31, 35-39; Rev 3:7, 8, 10] The primary way to make a true Christian a foe, is to try to persuade them to practice any form of idolatry, sorcery, or witchcraft. In Early Christendom, this is what pagan tyrants tried to do with Yahweh’s Elect. Jesus Christ foretold that Christians would have enemies, even amongst their closest of kin due, to their exclusive worship of Yahweh. [Mt 10:36] Eusebius writes that some persecutions came upon Christians due to their own ungodly conduct and ill-treatment of one another. However, once correction came and repentance done, divine peace was restored amongst Christian brethren. [I Pet 4:18; Heb 12:5-7] Eusebius reiterates that Roman rulers like Maxentius, foolishly relied on sorcery in governing their provinces. But, when he realized that sorcery was the cause of his failure in government, he had all his hired sorcerers executed. Eusebius again touches on the consequence of participating in DAIO, which is demonic distribution of temporal wealth and status, in exchange for satanic worship. He writes that it was Emperor Constantine and Co-emperor Licinuis, who put in place the first policy of Freedom of Religion. They ruled together from 313 A.D. to 324 A.D. under this law. Unfortunately, Constantine destroyed Licinious in 324 A.D., who resumed pagan worship. Constantine then ruled as sole Emperor of Rome until his death in 337 A.D. Indeed, idolatry was, is and will always be the root of fear and defeat for any nation. The Elect of THE LORD are admonished to guard themselves against it at all costs. [I Jn 5:21]
