are a judgement and a testing exercised (
of course, within the permissive will
of God) by evil men, or, to use mythological language, by the devil; and that the judgement
of God pronounced at Calvary

Not sure i
am convinced because how do you explain the verse an eye for an eye in the old testament there have always
been consequences for wrong doing and stiill
are for sin.If we
believe the word then that word
is from God not satan.As far as satan
is concerned he uses violence as his tools
of trade he works on our fears and
is limited to robbing stealing and destroying he does nt have anything else.Violence confirms to us that there
is a spiritual battle going on both on the earthly plane and in the heavenlys and the battle
is over souls.The verse the kingdon
of heaven
is expanding and violent people take it by force
is referring to that spiritual battle and as satan uses violence to expand his dominion so does God use violence to counter him.So what does he mean by that term for me i think it
is saying that the the force
of evil that satan uses or violence
is overcome by a greater violence or force a more powerful one that
being the
Love of Christ.Through the cross we see that clearly portrayed and in our
lives that very same battle
is still happening right now for dominion
be clear if we walk in the flkesh satan will have dominion over us but if we walk according to the spirit and abide in Christ we have freedom from our old nature.and satan.He can oppose us but he wont
be able to influence us if we
are in Christ.
