1 | 2Thess 2:7 forum, then respond | 2 Thess 2:6 | Ray | 8644 | ||
Hi Nolan, Please refer to my note to Tim above concerning "it". As far as who is being revealed, is there any reason why both can not be revealed here? | ||||||
2 | 2Thess 2:7 forum, then respond | 2 Thess 2:6 | Makarios | 8660 | ||
Dear Ray, I agree with Tim on the use of the word "it" in what he wrote. That is, if you believe that the 'restrainer' is the Holy Spirit. :) Have a blessed day! Nolan |

Hi Nolan, I believe the One who restrains is Spirit and that we are in spiritual warfare, but I don't believe that the scripture tells us here that it is the Holy Spirit. If you use the NRSV that perhaps, I don't know, Tim is using then there would be an insertion of the Lord "Jesus" in 2Thess 2:8. Or we could consider capitalizing the Spirit of His mouth instead of the breath of His mouth in verse eight. I don't think so, however. I believe concerning 2Thess 2:6 that in His time He (or he) will be revealed. I don't believe that Satan is in charge of time or even his time. I suppose that it could read "And you know the One who restrains him now, so that in His time he will be revealed." In fact, in reading that just now it makes sense. But again, I don't see the Holy Spirit per se in these verses, and I might even lean toward the inclusion of the Lord *Jesus in verse eight. I do believe that 2Thess 2:11 could very well read, "For this reason (the Spirit) will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness." |
