Powerful
In Revelation 6:15, the powerful - also sometimes translated as strong, mighty, or potent - refer to the truths which make up our external minds. They are paired with the commanders of thousands, which are the related good external or natural loves that we have. Note, too, that they are listed after the kings, the great ones, and the rich, which here stand for more interior goods and truths.

Ezekiel 16:26
26
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
