In FATHER’S Master Plan, HE has provided us with The Restrainer for our benefit!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2:
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He Who now restrains ( The Restrainer) will do so until He is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His Mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the Love of the Truth, that they might be saved.
Who is The Restrainer? The most widely held interpretation is that The Restrainer is The Holy Spirit working through the true Church also known as The Bride. What is the chronological sequence? The Church restrains evil; The Restrainer is removed; the antichrist is revealed; tribulation begins.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:
1 And HIS fullness fills you, even though you were once like corpses, dead in your sins and offenses.
2 It wasn’t that long ago that you lived in the religion, customs, and values of this world (the course of the world), obeying the dark ruler of the earthly realm who fills the atmosphere with his authority, and works diligently in the hearts of those who are disobedient to the Truth of God.
3 The corruption that was in us from birth was expressed through the deeds and desires of our self-life. We lived by whatever natural cravings and thoughts our minds dictated, living as rebellious children subject to God’s wrath like everyone else.
4 But God still Loved us with such great Love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.
5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, HE united us into the very Life of Christ and saved us by His wonderful grace!
The mystery of lawlessness has been around since The Garden, but The Holy Spirit has restrained the lawless one, especially since Jesus birthed the church and brought forth The Holy Spirit to live inside believers.
When The Bride of Christ is removed, the lawless one is revealed. The Holy Spirit has not been removed because during the tribulation, there will be those who were sealed as Loving servants of GOD.
The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 7:
2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, who had the seal of the Living God. He shouted out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage earth and sea,
3 saying, “Do not damage the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have marked the Loving servants of Our God with a seal on their foreheads.”
4 And I discovered the number of those who were sealed. It was one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of Israel’s people.
And
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.
FATHER’S Love continues to minister to those who finally have eyes to see, even during the Great Tribulation.
