Greeting
I live to love
My question is, what are exactly the fiery darts in Ephesians 6: 16, what are they? And what does, and in Ephesians 2: 2. What does it mean, Satan is the prince of the air?
something unusual came to my mind about this!
What may they be in the 21st Century

From the context, "fiery darts" sounds like insults (to their/our faith).

Fiery darts are temptations from Satan. Prince of the air that Satan is an evil spirit about us at all times.

YES it is, but there is a mystery, "fiery darts" is a weapon, prince means a person that has over many, the air of earth, a border, not under the earth, but above the earth "fiery darts" is a weapon, but what are they?

The verse does NOT says "wicked one".

Eph 6:16 KJV Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

This clearly implies MORE than one "wicked".

Sounds more like a figure of speech than a reference to an actual weapon.

Many versions have "evil one."

"In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one" (Eph. 6:16). If a version as KJV says "wicked" who do think they are writing about?

remember 30 years or so a man in Tiananmen protester, Tiananmen square, in China, they called he tank man on June 5, 1989. Stood in front of a column of tanks, his faith in his self stop the tank, the weapon of faith, so yes faith is a weapon

Ephesians 6:16 (KJV) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Tiananmen Square, in China tank man, with his whole armour of God
Ephesians 6:11 (KJV) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

That is a very silly "example".
So "faith in yourself" is protection again a column of tanks?

So you think that this person was a Christian using his "faith" to stop a tank?

there will be a time when your faith will be tested, I only can say let us see if YOU can stop a tank
your "fiery dart" will be especially custom for you, or those who follow your faith

Faith is used to overcome temptations so that is what the shield refers to.

The reason why he is called the prince of air is because he is unseen.

yes to overcome temptations is natural
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

The air is unseen, and Satan is seen
How? influence!

Matthew 4:8-9 (NKJV) Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
