"And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force." (Mt 11:12)
Just what did the Messiah mean by these words?
Many Bible students have postulated about the intent of this passage, but few have understood the true meaning.
In order to properly decipher this and other statements spoken by the Messiah, we must understand that Y'shua was a rabbi and taught as a rabbi, employing rabbinic methods of teaching in order to enlighten His listeners.
In this three part series, Bill will demonstrate some of these rabbinic methods of study and will reveal what Y'shua was really saying in Matthew 11 and how this text explains why the Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand.
In this series you will learn: the true nature of the Kingdom of Heaven; the role of John the Baptist in the Kingdom; the prophetic significance of Matthew 11:12; what "binding" and "loosing" really means.
