Ephesians 1:21
_ _ Greek, “Far (or high) above all (Ephesians 4:10) principality (or rule, 1 Corinthians 15:24), and authority, and power (Matthew 28:18), and dominion (or lordship).” Compare Philippians 2:9; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 3:22. Evil spirits (who are similarly divided into various ranks, Ephesians 6:12), as well as angels of light, and earthly potentates, are included (compare Romans 8:38). Jesus is “King of kings, and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16). The higher is His honor, the greater is that of His people, who are His members joined to Him, the Head. Some philosophizing teachers of the school of Simon Magus, in Western Asia Minor, had, according to Irenaeus and Epiphanius, taught their hearers these names of various ranks of angels. Paul shows that the truest wisdom is to know Christ as reigning above them all.
_ _ every name — every being whatever. “Any other creature” (Romans 8:39).
_ _ in this world — Greek, “age,” that is, the present order of things. “Things present ... things to come” (Romans 8:38).
_ _ that ... to come — “Names which now we know not, but shall know hereafter in heaven. We know that the emperor goes before all, though we cannot enumerate all the satraps and ministers of his court; so we know that Christ is set above all, although we cannot name them all” [Bengel]. |
Ephesians 1:21
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion — That is, God hath invested him with uncontrollable authority over all demons in hell, all angels in heaven, and all the princes and potentates on earth. And every name that is named — We know the king is above all, though we cannot name all the officers of his court. So we know that Christ is above all, though we are not able to name all his subjects. Not only in this world, but also in that which is to come — The world to come is so styled, not because it does not yet exist, but because it is not yet visible. Principalities and powers are named now; but those also who are not even named in this world, but shall be revealed in the world to come, are all subject to Christ. |
Ephesians 1:21
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every (a) name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
(a) Everything, whatever it may be, or above all things, even if they are of ever so much power or excellency. |
- above:
Philippians 2:9-10 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: ... That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Hebrews 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Colossians 1:15-16 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: ... For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Colossians 2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
1 Peter 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

- every:

|
- in that:
Matthew 25:31-36 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: ... Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Hebrews 2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
Revelation 20:10-15 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. ... And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
