Ephesians 6:12 speaks of the fight which is not against human foes, but against the "cosmic powers, authorities and potentates of this dark world, the superhuman forces of evil in the heavens." These archons were even thought of as having political organisations like rulers on earth.
However, this statement must not be thought of as coming from the Apostle Paul. Most scholars say that the Epistle to the Ephesians was written in Paul's name some time between 80 and 95 CE. One clear piece of evidence to support this is that many passages in Ephesians seem to be directly copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, itself a late pseudepigraphical work attributed to Paul.

What was the letter from St. Paul to the Ephesians for?
The Epistle to the Ephesians was not actually written to the Ephesians, but was an encyclical to the Church as a whole. In contrast to Paul's own use of the term church ( ekklesia, congregation), which he used only to refer to a local congregation, the author of Ephesians used the term in the singular to refer to the universal Church, and the opening address to the Ephesians is probably a late addition. Ephesians is supposedly addressed to a community of only Gentile Christians, but scholars doubts whether such a community yet existed in Pauline times.The Epistle to the Ephesians copied much material from the pseudo-Pauline letter to the Colossians, which was in turn written sometime during the 70s, and was intended to address a sectarian conflict that had arisen in Asia Minor.
