1 | Who is he who restrains?ebrain. | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188021 | ||
Mark, 2 Thess2:7 is said to be the church (believers)because we are still here, and as God's agency, our collective spirit-filled lives hold him back. The other opinion is a government agency of some kind. Both are speculative opinions. The restrainer "being taken out" in Revelations is said to be the Holy Spirit, which up to then has held back "evil in general." Hope this helps........ InGodITrust (hope you all do to!) |

2 | Who is he who restrains?ebrain. | 2 Thess 2:7 | skccab | 188022 | ||
Hi all I agree with lionheart, Mark, and InGodITrust that it is the Church and the Holy Ghost that is removed. Without true believers standing together holding up shields of corporate faith, there is nothing to hold back the evil that is all around us. (While we are here the battle is great, but evil can only win small skirmishes.) And there will be a short period where there are no believers, save the 144,000. Whether the Holy Spirit is once again available to any believer (and I believe that He is or will be) or only to the 144,000 and the 2 witnesses is a whole other discussion. Just my 2cents worth blessings cheri |

cheri, Amen, sister, God is and will keep "the world in check" until we "check out." I have no desire to start more controversy but "why would God want His Bride here," when all-hell-will-break-out? Just my o-pin-e-on.......... InGodITrust |

hi InGod, Thank you for your note. But it's not just not wanting His Church here when all the bad stuff is going on, it's because we, the Church, in Jesus' Name have authority over the workings of evil. We see something going on in government that shouldn't be, there's no devil strong enough to withstand the prayers of the faithful as we stand together in agreement in God's Word and in prayer and intercession. The devil doesn't have a prayer :) nor have a leg to stand on. Sooooo we gotta be gone for all that to begin to take place. You think? blessings cheri |

5 | Who is he who restrains?ebrain. | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188026 | ||
Yes Cheri, I don't think we have "authority," but only in that God answers our prayers, which is our authority. God is ultimately ruling over all things and He puts it in our hearts to pray for His will. Does this fit? InGodITrust |
