The Kingdom and violence… Matthew 11:12-15

“12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Brief exegesis concerning Kingdom violence,

Causation for our creation in Time is a Great Kingdom War that was initiated by a rebellious cherub angel before Time began. Time and matter, the Heavens and the Earth, which are temporary creations constrained by physics, were created as a repository for that Kingdom War to remove said War from the Kingdom of Elohim where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27). The primary reason Messiah entered the Realm of Time was “to destroy the works of the devil” (Genesis 3:15;1 John 3:8b) via a battle strategy of selfless love known as the Gospel which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) and first pictured for humanity in Genesis 3:21.

Violence and the violent are causation for the creation narrative and said violence ravages both the physical World and the Spiritual World. Jesus tells you that His Kingdom is NOT of this Realm and that His servants are warriors who are currently fighting this violence in both the Spiritual and Physical Realms. We have but two-options in this life, ally with Jesus by faith and be victorious over evil or ally with Satan through a rejection of Jesus as Messiah and King. You are commanded to choose this day whom you will serve (Joshua 24:15).

Current events involving the massacre of Jacob’s children by the demons of Hamas demonstrates the Kingdom spiritual war that rages around us and through us and exerts itself into the Realm of Time as the demonic rages against the covenants and promises of Elohim (Ephesians 6). These scenarios manifest as an example to the faithful angelic creation who observes with awe the horrors, the atrocities, committed by their former leadership represented by Satan and the divine work of their God in Elohim as He destroys the works of Satan via Messiah via selfless love (1 John 3:8b).

These atrocities will act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom as free will exists in the New Jerusalem by necessity. Elohim is currently restoring His Kingdom disrupted by Kingdom violence and those who trust in Jesus as Messiah will be granted access to the New Kingdom as Jesus prepares a place for those who trust in Him (John 14:2-3).
