Simply a strong man. Just an example. Don't go too deep, really, Jesus used parables to makes things simple.

It is a parable. The "strong man" is just a figure of speech, although here it could represent Satan.

It basically says that Christians need to have someone hold down the people who they are stealing from. In other words, Jesus is an accomplice in any strong arm robbery that Christians commit.
