Subject: Does the OT talk about resurrection? |
Bible Note: Tim, I know it's been awhile since you wrote the note - but... Carefull examination of the context of 2 Thess 2:7 shows that the one restrained is the antichrist (the beast). Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. Revelation 20:1 ¶And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. So it seems that an angel is given authority to remove the restraint from the antichrist allowing him to ascend from the bottomless pit. This seems straightforward to me but I've seen very few others who see it the same way. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Listener |
