'Force' in the Bible

But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.

The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.
