<P> Psalm 82 speaks of "gods" who are "sons of the most high" and are assigned to judge mankind . Psalm 58 covers similar ground . </P> <P> Daniel 10 concerns the visitation of a man "His body was like topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude. to the prophet Daniel . This man explains to Daniel that he was delayed by the "Prince of Persia" (10: 13), but was helped by "Michael, one of the chief princes" (a reference to the Michael the Archangel, who was recognized in Jewish literature to be a chief angel guarding over Israel). Later in the chapter, the man warns Daniel that soon the "Prince of Greece" (10: 20) will join his Persian counterpart to make war upon them . </P> <P> Wagner regards this chapter is a key passage supporting the existence of territorial spirits, and appeals to Keil and Delitzsch, who suggest that the "prince of Persia" is the "guardian spirit of the kingdom ." George Otis says that Daniel 10 is "a well - defined case of an evil spiritual being ruling over an area with explicitly defined boundaries ." David E. Stevens notes that many scholars take the Prince of Persia to be an earthly political authority, such as Cambyses II . Stevens personally accepts the angelic interpretation, but argues that the "influence exerted by these angelic princes is personal and sociopolitical in nature and not territorial ." Stevens notes that in Daniel 12: 1, Michael the Archangel, is described as "the great prince who protects your people" (NIV), which "emphasizes the protective role of Michael in relation to the people of God rather than with respect to a given territory . Michael remained the guardian angel of the people of God, whether Israel was in the Promised Land or was dispersed in exile among the nations ." </P> <P> Melvin Tinker argues that the literary use of territorial spirits is a misnomer, since spirits referred to in various Biblical passages "are to be more associated with political and religious power and ideologies ." </P>
