"For we do not struggle against mere flesh and blood, but against demonic Principalities, against satanic Powers, against the celestial Rulers of the Darkness of this Present Age; --against Evil Spirits in the Interplanetary Spaces." I like that translation, although, personally I like to stick the KJ version (for my own reasons, that could start another whole debate). Interestingly enough, there is nothing in that particular translation that changes the meaning, only clarifies that the conflict is not happening in a complete vaccum on this planet, but is in actuality a conflict taking place on a scale effecting the entire universe.

"Principalities" and "Powers" are, of course, two different levels of angels in the Kabbalah, I think there are about 7 different levels in the pecking order IIRC.
Not the whole Universe, though, just the area that is in the Solar System, or to be more liberal, let us say the area that is nearer to our Sun, than to any other Star.
