Many modern Christians say principalities and powers represent the Kingdom of Hell and demonic entities. I can't recall all the sources, but in my meanderings over the years, I've heard both Rabbis and hermetic kabbalists argue that this is something we should take literally. Ancient Israel existed in a time of kingdoms and empires, principalities were areas ruled by kings and emperors, the powers were themselves and their appointments.

Does anyone have any logical disagreement?

Maybe we're using different definitions of logic here.

To me, that's what I would call a factual matter rather than a logical one. Logic is about using the brain/mind to structure understanding. Facts are just facts, bits of data one can use logic on, or that can stand by themselves.

Sorry if I misunderstood what you meant

Well no worries, because it makes no logical sense, it's on pause until I can find out the translations, and if it's still not logical for my core values, I chunk it pending undiscovered information.
