The gods/principalities/spirits of our generation do not exist separate from men. A principality is the spirit at work over a population.
The differences in principalities are, e.g in Daniel 2,7,8 and others, representative of different populations. These populations, in unmixed societies had common ancestry, as is with old nations organised in tribes.
The four beast in Daniel 7 are four principalities, people of differing spirits, though united in the works of darkness. The end of their reign over the principalities of the age ends at the same time, when the reign of the saints begins.
One of these spirit, the last principality described as terrible, rises against and subdues the whole earth, the genesis of our globalized society, Dan 7:23. It is also a subdued global society. But, in the reign of this principality, God unleashes His warring Angels-Dan 12:1, also the Angels of the saints for that war. This means that while our spiritual atmosphere is surely changed, Gods
people are empowered - in their season - to war.
