I.The Mysterious Restrainer Removed Via
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
The idea of the Holy Spirit blasphemed by
the Antichrist during the Tribulation and his followers committing the sin by
taking the mark of the Beast solves the mystery of the “restrainer removed,”
passage in 2 Thessalonians 2:2-12.
The verses read:
2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and
our gathering together to Him, we ask you,2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by
word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ]had come.3 Let no one deceive you by any means; forthat Day
will not comeunless the
falling away comes first, and the man of sin[is revealed, the son of
perdition,4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or
that is worshiped, so that he sits as God[ in the temple of God,
showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you
these things?6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in
his own time.7 For the mystery of lawlessness
is already at work; only Hewho now restrainswill do sountil 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 thelawless
oneis 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.11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they
should believe the lie,12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but
had pleasure in unrighteousness.
While it has been erroneously assumed that
this passage refers to the Rapture and
the Holy Spirit departing with the Saints in the Rapture, it is possible that
the Holy Spirit retreats when blasphemed for the sake of its own glory. This is why it is an unforgivable sin because
the sin would put a stop to the actions of the Holy Spirit in the areas it is
blasphemed. By taking the mark, the taker blasphemes the Holy Spirit, a sin so
great, the redemption power of the cross is nullified and cannot do its work.
If you liked this information and found it informative:
I have a small request. Many read my website and the
information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles
are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally
pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without
millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get.
Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the
hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge
fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to
all. So I am requesting your help.
