Thank you for your excellent article. The Scripture (Matt. 11:12) KJV in your article's title is profound as a single verse, but even more profound as a complete Scripture Passage (Matt 11:10-15) KJV. 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. There are many aspects to this passage, reading some of the Commentaries on this is insightful & magnificent https://biblehub.com/commentaries/matthew/11-11.htm
Another thought on your article is Jesus' statement: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34 - Due to His people Israel and their rejection of him, there would not be peace on earth (Peace among men) until He (Jesus) is accepted as King (Messiah) and reigns, but to the contrary, the result of the Gospel message would be the sword rather than peace.
Peace is given to us who believe. There is peace on earth while Christ's Body is present and ministering the gospel of peace. IOW, we have peace with God, our fellow saints, and we preach the cross... good news to us today, bad news for Israel, times past and future.
Our sword is the word of God found in the uncorrupted 1611 Authorized Kind James Bible. We use offensively and defensively.
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom 5:1.
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." 8:6

Thank you again for your articles.

Yes, the full passage is indeed worth noting. So much relevant punch, and material to further search out the Scriptures. I'm a little skeptical about commentaries, as I prefer to let Scripture interpret itself. Granted, that takes years of in-depth study. I enjoyed reading your scholarly article: https://www.eaec.org/The-Hidden-History-of-the-Antichrist--Summary-of-Lucifer-and-the-Kabbalistic-Jews--Teresa-Hillebrandt.pdf
