Ephesians 6:12
…11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.…
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The ancients believed that there were seven heavens (something still held by Islam even today), with God in the highest heaven and the powers and principalities in the lowest heavens. God's angels inhabited the heavens between. Because they were closest to the earth, the powers and principalities could control events on earth and exclude God, or at least attempt to do so. Some early Christians even believed that Jesus sneaked past the powers and principalities without their knowledge, in order to set up his kingdom on earth.The ancient understanding of the powers and principalities is demonstrated most clearly in the Bible by the pseudo-Pauline epistles:Ephesians 6:12: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."Colossians 2:15: "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over themin it."
Because they are blinded to the truth. Ehesians 6:12 states "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. "

Ephesians 6:10-18New King James Version (NKJV)The Whole Armor of God10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints-

Yes, however the exact hierarchy has been deliberated by Christian scholars for centuries.Additional Comments:Hierarchies and governments exists in the spiritual world as well as the physical. Consider the 'Kingdom of God' that Jesus announced - the Father on top, Jesus next, etc... So too does the demon or evil world of Satan as leader and the fallen angels, now demon followers doing his bidding. It is mankind and not God as some teach, who must put on the armor of God to withstand this spiritual power which is now greater than we humans. God is allowing it to happen and is not engaged fully/directly in the battle at this time. When He sends His Son the 2nd time, He will overcome all evil quite easily:Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV) 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
