1 | 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 WHO? | 2 Thess 2:7 | CDBJ | 181104 | ||
Hi Jeff and thanks, I think Kalos had the better answer and it expatiates on what I have suggested even down to the finer points, if one is willing to check out the site? I have found out, from experience that recipients of the forum are less apt to move off to a www site even though it would be to their advantage and growth. Here is an excellent explanation of, 2 Thes. 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. This is well worth reading and a real chance to grow in grace; this teacher has been a real blessing to me in the past and he knows his Hebrew; thus it is in my “Favorites” section. http://www.zionsfire.org/daniel.html CDBJ |

2 | 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 WHO? | 2 Thess 2:7 | kalos | 181121 | ||
Chuck, I agree. And for those who missed it, I'll say it again: FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL AS THE RESTRAINER, see the article by Marv Rosenthal at: www.zionsfire.org/daniel.html. Who is "he who now restrains" 2 Th 2:6-7? ____________________ "There is every possibility that he (Michael) is the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7." ____________________ 'The importance of Michael to the eschatological end times cannot be over-stated. His voice will be heard at the Rapture (1 Thess 4:16). His actions will initiate the final unparalleled persecution of Israel (Dan 12:1). He initiates the battle that ignites the final conflict prior to the coming of the Son to rule all the nations (Rev 12:7). There is every possibility that he is the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7. The former three passages mentioned all deal with the beginning of the forty-two months; time, times and half a time; and, one thousand two hundred and sixty days, which mark the eschatological period just prior to the Lord’s return at Armageddon.' (www.revelationcommentary.org/ 12_chapter.html) The Restrainer is removed AMPLIFIED 2 Th. 2:6-8 6 And now you know what is restraining him [from being revealed at this time]; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed... AMPLIFIED Daniel 12:1 AND AT that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God's plan for His own]. (www.solagroup.org/articles/ endtimes/ep_0011.html) 'Daniel wrote of Michael, the restrainer, this way: "And at that time shall Michael stand up [literally, stand still or desist from helping Israel], the great prince which standeth [whose normal and continued ministry had been to help Israel]" (Dan. 12:1); and Paul wrote of the restrainer this way: "He who now letteth [restrains] will let [continue his normal restraining ministry], until he be taken out of the way [ceases his normal ministry of restraining]" (2 Th. 2:7). The parallel between the two is conspicuous. 'The apostle Paul clearly had Daniel 12:1 in mind when he wrote 2 Thessalonians 2:7. The clear and compelling allusion to Daniel 12 would indicate that the restrainer is the archangel Michael.1' (www.zionsfire.org/daniel.html) Grace to you, John |
