The Greatest, the Least, and the Violent in Matthew 11:7-14

Yeshua (aka Jesus) makes several startling and puzzling statements about John the Baptist and the Kingdom of Heaven in this passage. It raises several questions that I will attempt to answer in this video.

1. How is John the greatest born of woman?
2. How is John both the greatest and still less than the least in the Kingdom of Heaven?
3. How is the Kingdom of Heaven effected by violence between John and "now"?
4. What does it mean for the prophets and law to prophesy until John?
5. How is John Elijah?

Luke 16:16
Malachi 3:1
Malachi 4:5-6
