Bible Note: Greeting Ray! I kind of skipped over this post without reading it carefully, so I missed one of your comments. You said, "If the Greek had the word Restrainer, (and it doesn't), I would have it capitalized." The word can be translated several ways, but the text (2 Thess. 2:7) actually says, "There is now only One who holds back....(or restrains.)" So, the word 'restrainer' or 'holder back' is not a noun, but a participle used as a subject. This in fact functions basically as a noun. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
