THE RESTRAINER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT

 

July, 2012

 

We have all been taught that the Restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:7 is the Holy Spirit. Let's see if that is true... As usual, we go to the Scriptures.

 

2 Thessalonians 2:7

For the mystery of Torahlessness does already work; only he who now prevents it, will prevent it until he is taken out of the way.

 

Restoration Scriptures True Name Study Edition [RSTNSB] Notes:

A reference to Mikhael, or Michael the arch messenger, who is said to be Yisrael's warring messenger. He will be taken out of the way by YHWH as prophesied in Daniel 12:1-2, when he is told to cease, or freeze in standing up for Yisrael, so that Jacob's Trouble, or the Great Tribulation, can commence. Once Michael is told to freeze, Islam's attack against Jerusalem can begin. This does not refer to the Set-Apart Spirit, for clearly the Set-Apart Spirit is in the earth during that time, as seen by those who get saved and come to faith during that time.

 

Daniel 12:1-2

And at that time shall MichaEl stand still, the great prince of battle who stands over the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that time; and at the time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the scroll. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

 

So we can see from Daniel 12:1 that it is Michael, the arch angel who is the Restrainer; not the Set-Apart Spirit Who will be here to draw people to the salvation message of the Kingdom. 

 

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the Only Eloah,  

be honor and glory forever and ever. Amein!"

1 Timothy 1:17
