You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive. Psalm 68:18 (NKJV)
Paul quotes this Scripture in Ephesians 4:8 and explains it Ephesians 4:9 to mean that Christ first descended into the lowest parts of the earth and then ascended.When Christ died, He defeated, conquered, and took captive everything that had held us as captives which includes sin, death, and satan. This is what “He led captivity captive” means. Then He ascended on high having all authority and power and He gave us all that authority and power – Matthew 28:18-19.Today we are no longer captives. Jesus took captive or conquered the captivity we were in. Jesus’ conquest is ours too. The captivity of sin, sickness, curse, poverty, death, and devil that used to oppress is now powerless under our feet.
