The Son Of Man, Our Prince
There is a son of man who came down from heaven and lived as men, a short while, and he was bound, by the great men of the earth, tormented and killed. He bore the grief of men of the earth, and death arose against Him, the Son of God, unrepentant and still, yet another time, again and again, arising against the sons of peace, the brethren of Christ, swallowing and biting in and not getting satisfied.
But there is a time set, a time for the completion of the works of death, and for life, yet again, to triumph, to rule over death. That is what our Christ did on that day, when he descended to the depths of the earth, held captivity captive. That which holds the sons of men captive, that is in itself captive in the hands of our Lord. The son of man.
That is how He rules over principalities. It is the principalities that hold men captive, and by holding principalities(powers, and rulers of this world), he has in fact control, authority over them. That is why His place is above all of them. That is why, in his name, He who rules over the principalities, we triumph over the same principalities, rulers, and powers of the age. It is the name of a principality that is greater, higher than the principalities of men. The principality of peace, it is called, as is written.
That is the power of the Son of Man. Our Lord.
