NASB | 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness [rebellion against divine authority and the coming reign of lawlessness] is already at work; [but it is restrained] only until he who now restrains it is taken out of the way. |
Subject: Who is he who restrains?ebrain. |
Bible Note: 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!) |
