The passage is about spiritual strongholds. Someone asked if is about politics and answered-maybe church politics.
'Church politics' is somewhat humorous I think. Jesus did not hang around to be anything like the Sanhedrin himself. Society is rife with ecclesiastic issues sectarian and otherwise. Yet one can syntegrate church issues with those of secular social reality for the purpose of inquiry. They are a continuum with the good, the bad and the ugly. I think one might want to take a philosophical view of what politics are and what the term politics means. Maybe Jesus and God's teleology transcend human academic ideas about social affairs, grouping and classifications and cuts that Gordian knot to rectify all human problems with being perfectly in the will of God. People sin with thought-and even if sinful thought collectively increases and error becomes mass produced it still is opinion held by individuals that are ultimately accountable. All human social classifications exist in the heart and mind-they are intellectual rather than physical things that exist in the material world, so they are all malleable and subject to correction of the Lord.
