Subject: Why is 2 Thess. 2:7 mis-translated? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, This passage continues to be a difficult one does it not. I have come to agree with you because of past discussions; i.e. verse 6, that the "he" should be lower case, speaking of the lawless one being revealed. Since then we have talked about "this" and "this One" and "that one" concerning the definite article of Strong's 3588. I wonder if you can agree with me for verse 6, "And you know the One who restrains him"; and for verse 7, "only the One who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way." Thanks for your work here again, Tim. From the heart, Ray |
