I look up questions soooo much on this site!! You guys are a blessing to me and my life. I have grown in my faith and have been able to encourage my family. I will share of Jesus everywhere I go. Last night my Grandpa who's been sick was actually visited by Jesus. He is healed. Thank you for encouraging me so that I could encourage my family and they have in turn been encouraged and are now encountering Jesus.
I think ur wrong. I think it means spiritual warfare manifested as persecution. John is in prison and Pharisee seek Jesus’ life. It almost sounds like a eulogy.
In the time of John, one has to fight/struggle to leave their tradition to follow the way of the kingdom. There was a pull from both sides, your own people or God's kingdom
Matthew 11:12 is referring the prophetic passages in Micah 2:12-13. The coming King, Messiah, who will lead the way and break forth from bondage by force taking God's people to God's reign (i.e. Kingdom).
DING DING DING!!!! You got this right! Context is king, but the guy in this video TOTALLY missed it. In every way, Jesus was telling people (if they had ears to hear, that is) WHO He was. In this instance it's no different. Congrats on the correct CONTEXT and ANSWER!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
You are wrong. For the kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. We are saved by grace, but in order to live a holy life it is spiritual warfare. Walking the straight and narrow path, we must be violent towards our own sin and the prince of the power of the air.
People's hearts are far too hard, differently requires softening of the heart. Jeremiah 7 describes how the abortionist, idolaters and the oppressors will be thrown out. Thus, see the Time of Jacob's Trouble. Biggest harvest of souls ever. I am a Eagle Prophet of the tribe of Simeon

You're welcome. Grace is given freely to those who repent and believe, but if we want to live a holy life than we must be violent spiritually towards sin and the Devil.
To me it means that these people that were pressing around Jesus, were waiting for the Messiah and a new order of things where they were on top and the people that have oppressed them went to the bottom. were they pushing in because they wanted that just like when they tried to make him king... for Him to come and take over everything and they would certainly prosper by being on the correct side. That is not how Jesus came to save the world. they never expected him to be crucified and die, they expected him to be king and take over the government and leadership.
Kingdom (Mark 4:26-29) OF GOD is very different to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13:24-42).in Matthew 11:12 it says kingdom of Heaven and not Kingdom OF GOD. (a little correction).in Kingdom of GOD There are only Good Seed but in Kingdom of Heaven are mixed with Good seed and tares.
@genie but if your churches are mixed with poor and rich people (James 2:2),even though you believe you are born again and not fullfill as model what is in Acts 2:42-47;4:32-37,then your churches are synagogues of devil, you are cursed With a curse when bring tithes and offerings in synagogues and forever separated from GOD If not repent and return to GOD.your names are blotted out in Book Of THE LAMB..
3:23 eager for a blessing, enthusiasm, excitement = suffering violence? 🤔 This ain't it bro, but spiritual warfare and persecution in the physical realm like beheadings etc. which will also happen in the endtimes to believers...Jesus quite literal meant what he said! And people need to know and accept this side of the bible too! Enough with the sugarcoating!
You present a nice sugar coated interpretation BUT this is a war between 2 kingdoms and the battle is won when the violent take it by force. What does it mean, "the violent" and "take it by force"? You could write a book on this one verse. One thing we know for sure is that people who call themselves Christians are basking in Babylon and not contending for the kingdom.
@jesusisking314Im at the gym now :) but let me say this... I was a "Christian" pastor until Yahweh opened my eyes to the truth and not mine only. In these last days where knowledge is abounding there is no excuse for not doing your research and uncovering the truth. Beginning not long after the disciples and as they warned us, wolves crept in and turned the Way that Yeshua taught into Christianity as conjured up by Constantine. The "Bible" you study is corrupted beyond what you can imagine and has blotted the name of Yahweh off its pages over 7000 times. I love Yeshua, he is my Master, King, Messiah and Saviour. Now I am aligned with him and not Constantine.
This guy is wrong on all accounts Bible interpretation is to keep it in context yes, but also take it literally unless scripture proves otherwise, Jesus was not talking figuratively the kingdom of heaven is a physical kingdom and people wanted a political Messiah and John proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah and the people wanted Jesus to overthrow the Roman Empire but that wasn’t his mission, they were looking for a political kingdom rule and reign not a spiritual or figurative one.
You are just but a very small thing before God ,in his wrath he can wipe you and your entire generation out ,because he has the power to do so .But he chooses mercy and love to a point that he sent his son to come and die for your sins .Even today he is still calling you to come to him.
@@beholdjesusiscomingsoon8238 I am real. Too bad that you can't handle anything beyond violent fairytales in an ancient book of political bullshit. ;-)

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. Shalom
I was blessed here
Glorious
Thank you for sharing this teaching. God bless you
Thank You man.
What a stretch!
I’ll say
Awesome! Thank you!
Powerful
Great explanation! Thank you!
God bless you--thank you so much for the clear explanation.

But why has it been like that specifically "from the days of John the Baptist" ?
It's speaking of Jerusalem
@@Nikitakun1the real Israelites aren't the one in Israel today they are not the real seed of Jacob
This yo interpretation is ok but out of context, when Jesus said this statement sin & devil hadn't been defeated yet through death & resurrection
💯
Great job Pastor! Glad the Lord directed you to preach about that profound scripture!
Could it be about the fact that John got beheaded for speaking against Herod's sinful relationship and his Wife asked for his head on a platter?
In that case, violent people who has taken hold of the kingdom of God will be king Herod and his wife and others. Does't sound correct to me.
PLEASE cut the background music 🙏🏼 it’s incredibly distracting
How can you be sure that your interpretation of this scripture is accurate?
It isn’t
This guy isn't a scholar.
People's hearts are far too hard, differently requires softening of the heart. Jeremiah 7 describes how the abortionist, idolaters and the oppressors will be thrown out. Thus, see the Time of Jacob's Trouble. Biggest harvest of souls ever.

You are correct.

Naw
Malachi 4:5
To me it means that these people that were pressing around Jesus, were waiting for the Messiah and a new order of things where they were on top and the people that have oppressed them went to the bottom. were they pushing in because they wanted that just like when they tried to make him king... for Him to come and take over everything and they would certainly prosper by being on the correct side.

I noted some good points here

The Kingdom of God is composed of the Born-again believers, in whom the Holy Ghost dwells; Luc 17.21:"the Kingdom of God is within you".
@genie but if your churches are mixed with poor and rich people (James 2:2),even though you believe you are born again and not fullfill as model what is in Acts 2:42-47;4:32-37,then your churches are synagogues of devil, you are cursed With a curse when bring tithes and offerings in synagogues and forever separated from GOD If not repent and return to GOD.your names are blotted out in Book Of THE LAMB..
@@CHRISToureternalLORD4426
I never said we should pay or give tithes. Tithes are a law for the Hebrew, not for the body of Christ.
Kingdom if God is the reign of Jesus Christ on the earth as king. In the future.
Very good
Why do you reference all but the King James version?
Good question, I totally disagree with the answer. Next !
Whoa! I came here for answers to scripture, not a pathetic rearrangement of it..

It means that there is a lot of bullshit in that book. :-)
The Bible is a Spiritual book it isn't going to be understood by an arrogant atheists!
You are just but a very small thing before God ,in his wrath he can wipe you and your entire generation out ,because he has the power to do so .But he chooses mercy and love to a point that he sent his son to come and die for your sins .Even today he is still calling you to come to him.

Well explained. Thanks for the clarity
