Admin	Could someone expound please Posted : 10 Nov, 2012 06:05 AM Hi there, I've seen this Scripture quoted many times, if someone is able to expound on it's meaning to help me gain understanding I'd be grateful. Matthew 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." Many thanks Jacquie Post Reply

I don't know. It didn't seem that hard to understand, but now it does!:laugh: :peace::peace: Post Reply

Matt 11: 12 umiymey Yahuchanan haMat�bil w�`ad-henah mal�kuth hashamayim nith�p�sah b�yad chazaqah w�hamith�chaz�qiym yach�t�phuah Luke 16:16 haTorah w�haN�biy�iym nit�nu `ad-Yahuchanan umin-�az wahal�ah b�sorath mal�kuth ha�Elohim w�kal-�iysh b�yad chazaqah yabo� bah.

It just seems to me like it's talking about two different groups, and I don't think it can be very accurate to use Hebrew or Hebrew meanings on words that were written in Greek. :peace::peace: Post Reply
