Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

What does it mean that the violent can take the kingdom of heaven?

"Now" is arti, which means "just," "exactly," and "just now."

"Suffers violence" is biazô , which means "to constrain," "to force," and "to use violence."

"The violent" is biastes (biatas), which means "forceful" and "mighty."

"Take by force" is harpazô, which means "to snatch away," "to carry off," "to overpower," and "to plunder."

If we accept that Christ is speaking to us here and now, this statement means that the introduction of the kingdom of heaven (the universal rule) began with John the Baptist heralding the coming of Christ and that it continues to our now, this exact moment (not just Christ's "now" in the past).

It goes on to say that, starting with John, the kingdom of heaven has been constrained and forced by the powerful who seek to take it away or plunder it.

By translation would be: From the time of John the Baptist until the very minute, the powerful want to constrain and plunder the rule of heaven.
