Col 2:15 What are the principalities and powers referred to here (KJV)?
The principalities and powers here (KJV), are the same as in Eph 6:12 - demons (CP Eph 6:12).
There are differing views among bible scholars however as to the exact meaning of what Paul says here. Some believe it refers to Christ's triumphant victory procession leading vanquished demons behind Him when He ascended to heaven after His resurrection (CP Psa 68:18; Eph 4:8-10).
Others believe it refers to Christ's proclamation of victory over Satan and death to the spirits in prison, when He descended into hell (CP Mt 12:38-40; 1Pe 3:18-20).
Neither view is fundamental to salvation, so whichever we disagree with, let us do so in love.
