Subject: Who is the one holding back? |
Bible Note: The passage you quoted, doesn't speak to the one how restrains. The questioner was asking about 2 Thessalonians 2:7. That which restrains (or holds back) is mentioned in the prior verse, 2 Thessalonians 2:6: And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. (NASB) And now you know what is restraining him [from being revealed at this time]; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time. (AMP) And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. (ESV) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. (KJV) And now, you* know the [thing] restraining, for him to be revealed in his own time. (ALT) |
