7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
COMPARE WITH: (the rulers and powers that God ORDAINS, such as PAGAN ROME)
Romans 13:1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
COMPARE ROMANS 13:7 TO LUKE 20:25
25And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
Is the HE in Romans 13:4 the Holy Spirit? No, it is not. It is an earthly power that God ORDAINED (verse 1).
The restrainer of the Antichrist was Pagan Rome! Paul was talking about a ruling power in both instances. Even someone as spiritually blind as you should be able to see that. You are Dead Man Walking if you can't.
No Holy Spirit as Restrainer/no more literal Israel = no PTR. DONE.
You were just sitting there waiting, weren’t you, Phil?
(Rhetorical.)
Dead soul, just because you keep pinging me as if we are having a debate, does not mean I read your deceits or am in any way obligated to read or respond. You are using cultic deceit methodology. You are playing a gotcha game demonic in origin. And this particular post is aimed at letting readers kow why I do not read or respond to your spew. I doubt you will stop the taunting, badgering and accusing, so I just wanted folks to know. There is no regard for truth in you so you lack discernment and are tossed to and fro by any piece of data you can find which supports the lies the demonic spirits have planted in your dead mind of your soul
Who’s the “he” in Romans 13:4?
