What is less clear are the invisible powers. We are told that too, just like in the physical realm, there are invisible “thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities.” We obviously know that, given a brief review in our minds of world history, that visible rulers and authorities do not always follow what God wants—that needs no real explanation. There are countless examples that could be cited in that regard. Going to the Scriptures, in we go to Acts 12, we can see a detailed interaction of how the visible interacted with the invisible, and how things played out in this instance. We are told, right at the beginning of Acts 12, that “About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. He killed James the brother of John with the sword, and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also” (Acts 12:1-3, ESV). Notice that Herod, who was the leader of people, was evil, and acted in an evil manner, going against the church.
