1 Peter 3:21 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 3:21

19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

20 who formerly were disobedient,¹ when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

21 ^aThere is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism ^b(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, ^cbut the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22 who has gone into heaven and ^ais at the right hand of God, ^bangels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

I Peter 3:21-22

Again, we see that because Jesus was seated at the right hand of God, all the angels and authorities and powers are subject to Him. This does not mean that He had no authority before, because even while He was a Man, the demons were subject to Him. But something changed with His ascension—something was accomplished that elevated the Word even higher than He was before His incarnation.
