1 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | mark d seyler | 188067 | ||
Hi InGodITrust, So basically, you're saying that Michael the Archangel, rather than being the active protector of Israel, is the "keeper of the pit", and passively protects Israel by keeping at bay one of its foes? Love in Christ, Mark |

2 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188084 | ||
Mark, No, I am not saying that, nor does it appear that the church is the restrainer, nor (specifically the Holy Spirit) but those "in the know" seem to think Michael the archangel, based on Daniel, seems to be. I can not explain it as this whole area of study is new to me. That is why I gave you the web site: http://endtimepilgrim.org/restrainer.htm There (seems to be) some agreement among those who have studied this particular area that Michael has specific duties concerning Israel. I am completely out to lunch when it comes to discussing this subject, just thought it very compelling what that web site had to say. God Bless, InGodITrust |

3 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | mark d seyler | 188098 | ||
I'm sorry, I thought you agreed with the website you were recommending. On the whole, I found their argument unconvincing. If I stay with the straightforward reading of Scripture it seems fairly simple to me. "those "in the know" " - is this an appeal to authority? There are a great many who have studied this passage in depth that do not agree with this. And the idea of Michael as the restrainer of 2 Thess 2 is not a majority view. Thank you for clarifying this for me. Love in Christ, Mark |

4 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188108 | ||
Greetings Mark, I do not know whether to agree or disagree with the web site, just thought you might find it intriguing. Thanks for the comback, seems there may be no clear cut answer for 2 Thess.2 InGodITrust |

5 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | mark d seyler | 188109 | ||
Hi InGodITrust, I've never been able find a conclusive statement in the Bible of who this restrainer is. I think we've discussed the prevailing theories. Thanks for the interesting discussion! Love in Christ, Mark |
