I think the scripture is human centric. John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Being a collective and earthly people, the Jews represented a church. Kings represent truth. Elders wisdom. The gospel of Matthew is the most commonly represented by the Man of the 4 beasts before the throne. The book containing the mention of Gold, and the Kingdom of Heaven represents interior Good. Saying the violent take the Kingdom of God(instead of heaven) by force would make no sense. Matt 11:12
