1 | The Restrainer - Revisited! | 2 Thess 2:7 | Morant61 | 17568 | ||
Greetings Ray! I think I'm confused now! According to 2 Thess. 2:7, it is the restrainer who it taken out of the midst. You seem to be saying that it is the man of lawlessness who is taken out of the midst. Please correct me if I am wrong! In the long run, I don't think this is a vital issue because the meaning of the passage is clear. The man of lawlessness will appear for a time, but everything he does is subject to God's sovereignty and he is destined for destruction. However, it is fun to speculate about the details which Paul doesn't make plain. :-) Since I know that you are interested in pronouns, may I point out that in both of your 2 Thess. quotes above, that the bracketed pronouns are not in the text!

2 | The Restrainer - Revisited! | 2 Thess 2:7 | Ray | 17593 | ||
Hi Tim, You may think that I am confused, but you at least know how I interpret the passage. I do believe that the mystery or the man of lawlessness will be taken out of the midst. (It or he). verse 6. And you know the One who restrains [him] now, for in His time He will be revealed. verse 7. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; there is only One holding [it] back just now until he (it) is removed. I am only interested in pronouns of Deity so the bracketed ones here I'm not concerned about. This study reminds me of another string of pronouns which makes one wonder who is being spoken of. Let me introduce a thread on Matthew 11:10 if you are interested. Later, Ray |
