I see Christians use this passage all the time but I don't understand their point. Can you explain what this passage means to you?
It's a spiritual battle and there is a spiritual world. The demonic realm (i.e satan) is able to use various flesh to serve his purpose.
It's a reminder to focus on the spiritual aspect and not the worldly. Otherwise you will be deceived by what's coming.

Jesus had issues with people in power--King Herod, Pontius Pilate, and Rabbis in general. To me, it seems like he is advocating fighting against the spiritually wicked, ruling elite--who are not of flesh and blood (inhuman).
Those rulers are at the very least in contact with and getting controlled by demons. Are some of them completely non-human entities pretending to be human? I don't know. Either way it's demonic in nature.
