The “restrainer” in 2nd Thessalonians is not the Holy Spirit, it is the unholy Spirit (or Satan).

(Before It's News)

 

At the heart of Satan’s deception of a pre-tribulation rapture is the misconception that the “restrainer” referred to in the second chapter of 2nd Thessalonians, who is holding things back, is the Holy Spirit. This restrainer that Paul talks about is not the Holy Spirit, it is the unholy spirit, or Satan. Look at the language Paul uses. The one holding back the secret power of lawlessness will continue to do so until “he is taken out of the way”. It is not a voluntary thing—he is forcibly removed. The Antichrist is Satan’s “trump card”, his last resort. If you are in a war and you are wise and cunning, then you do not use your last resort before it is time to do so. The world today is full of corruption and evil. It would be foolish of Satan and not necessary for him to use his best weapon or last resort in a world where he is pretty much having his way. But that will change when Christians unite and become the true Church. As the Church realizes its part in the end times and comes together in love and grows and matures and starts walking in the true power of Christianity, doing the things Jesus did and even greater things, reaping the great end time harvest in the greatest revival the world has ever known, and as they pull down strongholds of the enemy all over the place, then the overcoming Church, as personified by the man child of Revelation 12:5, will win the victory over the Devil by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony and Satan will be cast down from heaven—he will be taken out of the way. Paul knew there was coming a time when the Church would be victorious over Satan as described in Revelation 12:7-12. This onslaught against the powers and principalities of darkness will back Satan into a corner, forcing him to play his trump card, or use his best weapon, his last resort. It is at the very beginning of Revelation 13 that the beast arises. So it is Satan who is the restrainer who must be taken out of the way in heaven and then the Antichrist will be revealed.

  • You wrote “You’re still not addressing the first 3 verses’ ….” I see”.

    Yes I did’ you DON”T SEE anything important,and you won’t accept ! ? as v6 supersedes v3 “as it is written”

    v3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin[b] is revealed, the son of perdition

    v6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.8 And THEN the lawless one will be revealed.

    as it is written v8 AND THEN ……”WHEN” THEN !!… he WILL BE REVEALED.

    this flows yours is a 3 card trick on PTR …..viewers beware he’s set a trap if you answer him.

    Furthermore ….YOU ALSO… DON’T SEE

    The church(es) missing whereabouts during “Jacobs Trouble”

    The Elders as relevant

    The redeemed around the throne…. out of every Nation

    The rapture…. until the END , I thought we where to judge

    The crowned ones

    The OPEN door in Heaven

    The DOOR NEVER OPENS AGAIN…..the 10 Virgin parable during Jacobs trouble.

    The Wife (recognize the change)

    The saying Y’shua said to John , He (John) will tarry till I COME. when did he come for Him ?

    I’m only just getting started I have so much more that you won’t be able to SEE, so I’m restraining myself, as you have been found wanting and won’t accept… “as it is written”

    2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

    2 Peter 3. AND he’s taking about…The Day of the Lord.

    This is YOU.

    and anyone who thinks SATAN has been holding himself (SATAN) back, as the restrainer as you mentioned… is totally Deluded
