Yes, that’s what I was replying to and you gave no Biblical reference that actually says “the church” is what is being spoken about in 2 Thes, unless I have missed it.
There are 3 things (if you can bring more ideas to the table, I'm all ears!) that could be considered to be "holding back" the anti-christ from being revealed. Those are considered to be governments, the church, and the Holy Spirit - since this is going to be AFTER the 10 kingdoms of "Revised Rome" have been put back together (indicating heavy reliance on government), and the fact that the Holy Spirit will NOT be removed, that leaves the church. I'll admit it is arrived at after deduction, but again, if you can give me another "force" that would be able to hold back the anti-christ, I'm always happy to study more!
