High places

While the phrase high places appears almost 90 times in the Old testament we only see it once in the New Testament.

• 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]."
