Matthew 12:28-29 ESV
But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.
Where Jesus is becomes the kingdom of God. In these verses the kingdom of God is in the body of Jesus which has come near, even in the midst of His own people.
Jesus goes on to describe His presence and action as "he first binds the strong man". The someone is Jesus. The strong man is Satan. Those whose eyes have been opened are no longer deceived. We are the freed captives led by the risen Savior who are transferred into the kingdom of heaven through faith in Jesus Christ.
