Which came first....demonic or earthly titles??
I was very surprised when some time ago I discovered that titles used on Earth by governments/aristocracy etc were the same as demonic titles. Most surprising of all was when a couple of weeks ago I saw 'commander in chief' as a title of satan....(Scroll down for 'prime minister'!)
I shouldn't be surprised really as satan and his demonic hierarchy are the 'counterfeit kingdom', for whom the illuminati/nwo/rothschild/rhodes/rockefeller/vaticanazionists are working.
I recommend you visit the links as the following snippets would make much more sense in context.

The Satanic Kingdom
(Restoring Shattered Lives)
There are other spiritual beings in the heavenly realms which may be godly or ungodly: Archangels (ruling angels), Angels, and Shedhim (rulers or lords) and Seirim (he-goats or hairy ones). Demons seek a body to inhabit. Angels can appear in bodily form. We petition GOD to deal with spiritual beings in heavenly realms and remove evil beings with levels of authority under them.

LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
(Informed Intercession)
Definitions

Ground Level: Ministry activity with individual bondage and/or demonization.
Binding The Strongman: Neutralizing the deceptive hold or enchantment that demonic powers have achieved over human subjects so that the latter can process truth at a heart level.

The Chain Of Command In The Demonic Realm (Excerpts)
Demons are very conscious of authority and adhere slavishly to the chain of command and the line of authority structure. There are Chief Kings and Chief Princes, and under them are Kings and Princes who rule various geographical and spiritual areas. There are kingdoms, principalities, dominions and powers which are administered by Kings and Princes. Each state in the United states is ruled over by a prince. Louisiana is ruled by Southern Curses.
A General is in charge of a Legion (6,000) while a Prince will control a number of Legions. A Ruler or Captain commands a Cohort (600), and there can be Chief Captains and Chief Rulers with still more authority. A Centurion controls 100 demons; if he controls less than a hundred demons he is called a Strongman.
Any demon in authority will direct how many, when and where pain spirits are to attack, and how sustained the attack is to be. These pain spirits are called Imps by those in charge.
Because of the rigid authority structure, a wise move in dealing with spirits is to bind all spirits, especially ruling ones and ones of Violence, Fighting and Murder.
The control of a geographical area seems to rest on the success of a prince in controlling the majority of the persons within that place. It also has to do with the ferocity and power of that prince.

In early Christian theology, Satan or the Devil was seen as chief of all other demons. But soon this changed and Hell was divided in several hierarchies of demons. This was presumably due to the division of angels in hierarchies or choirs taken from Judaism (see angelology), and as demons were angels before, their organisation had to be similar.
During the Middle Ages, many other schema were proposed, some drawing on and expanding on Pseudo-Dionysius, others suggesting completely different classifications. One of these divisions is offered by Sebastien Michaelis, who divided demons in three hierarchies (first, second and third), not making allusion to their rulers (see Michaelis' classification of demons).
Soon this division took another sense, and nobility titles were granted to demons as if they were part of an earthly monarchy. Demons were Great Marshals, Knights, Presidents, Great Presidents, Earls, Great Earls, Dukes, Great Dukes, Marquises, Great Marquises, Princes, Great Princes, Kings, Great Kings, and the ruler of all them the Emperor. As in the earth, some of them had more than one title. Curiously the titles of Baronet, Baron, Viscount and Viceroy were not used. It is unclear if Earl was used as a synonym of Count, or with the ancient meaning of Eorl (Old English for 'nobleman, Prince, Warlord, chief of soldiers'), because the Latin term 'comes' has both meanings. Other hierarchies mention physicians, superintendents, demons in charge of keeping the fire of Hell lit, etc. The rest of the demons were divided in legions.
Several grimoires rank demons according to titles of nobility, among them The Great Book of Saint Cyprian, Le Dragon Rouge, and The Lesser Key of Solomon.

AND THEN THERE'S THE TITLE OF PRIME MINISTER:
snip
In our excursions into demonology, apart from Satan and Asmodeus, there is another devil or demon which should hold our attention: Lucifuge Rofocale. The demonic literature affirms that Rofocale is linked with wealth and the treasures of this world. Whereas Asmodeus guards treasures and can be tricked to betray them, Rofocale is actually in charge of these worldly treasures – and thus of higher importance than Asmodeus.
Lucifuge is thus not one of the least demons, since he is the “infernal Prime Minister of Lucifer”, which singles him out as the first servant of the devil – an important position indeed. The name, Lucifuge Rofocale, comes from the title of Duke of Focalor, amalgamated with that of Lucifer, resulting – using the necessary anagrams (which are to some extent inversions also, though not always) – in Lucifuge Rofocale.
Let us note that Lucifer himself was once the prime servant of God – an archangel. And that he had a series of “servants”, angels of lesser hierarchies, working for him. When Lucifer rebelled and was cast out, he took many with him – and it seems that demonology continued to apply hierarchy in the ranks of the demons also – those that had followed Lucifer in the Fall.
It is in the Fall – both of Mankind and of Lucifer – that one legend has it that Lucifer lost his third eye. Still other legends argue that it was from this third eye that the angels would create a precious emerald, known to us as the Holy Grail.

In my enthusiasm to post this but not concentrating properly as intently listening to Eric Phelps exposing the Pope as 'god' on Earth, I may have mixed up one of the links....I'm sorry and I hope this doesn't confuse you too much.
In Christ - and here's how to arm yourself spiritually:
Ephesians 6:12-18 (KJV)
12For 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.
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
