“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.”
In context, “he who now restrains” but “is taken out of the way” does not mean taken off earth. It means he will no longer be restraining. The Bible does not ever say the Holy Spirit leaves earth. NEVER. EVER. He will never leave us or forsake us.
Do you feel nervous about the drawdown? Are you upset at the budget cuts, our guys not getting the training they need or the supplies like gasoline and parts to repair their equipment? Our military was a restraint. That restraint is being lifted. Doesn’t mean the guys won’t defend when they can and who calls for them, but the enemy sure knows whose side this executive branch is on.
I am not going to sit here and argue the point with you. I am a believer in the Pre-Tribulation taking out of the church as Paul describes it. YOU believe as you will. I don’t agree with you and we are done here. Go away and worship Joel Osteen.
