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.
