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.

Arcana Coelestia # 3926
3926. 'A second son to Jacob' means a second general truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, a general truth being meant at this point, as is clear from what has been stated and shown above concerning the twelve sons of Jacob and concerning the twelve tribes named after them; that is to say, the general aspects of the Church, and consequently the general aspects of faith and love, or of truth and good, are meant and represented by those sons. They also mean in the contrary sense every general aspect of that which is not faith or love, that is, every aspect of falsity and evil, as will be evident from what is said further on.
