Matthew 11:12

Ever since the days of John the Baptist [when he began preaching in the desert and crowds came there, see Matt. 3:5] until now, the kingdom of heaven (the kingdom of the heavens) has been stormed (pushed forward), and strong people are trying to take it (seize it, plunder it, steal it) by force.
[Some translations have "the kingdom of heaven is stormed," while others have "the kingdom of heaven presses forward." The word can be interpreted negatively as trying to take it by force, or positively as eagerly pressing forward. The meaning seems to be that when John began to preach that "the kingdom of God has come near," an eager longing arose among the people to seize it, but not everyone did so in the right way, i.e., through a change of heart and faith in Jesus. Many resorted to wrong methods, so that Jesus even had to hide that he was the Messiah and forbid his disciples and others to tell about him. The word "by force" is the same word used in John 6:15 when they wanted to make Jesus king by force.]
