The above Bible verse has really been a "cold" source of worry to me anytime I remember or I'm being reminded of the verse, I really want to know what it means cuz I get confused when any Pastor, Bible teacher, evangelist, or any cleric is trying to explain that verse. At every point I get a different interpretation, so please Bible scholars and theologians in the house, helps us do justice to the verse.

This is how the NEW WORLD TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES rendered that verse, which to me makes more sense.

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it.
