Read: [2 Thessalonians 2:6] Title: What withholdeth To the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory advocate, the restrainer of (2 Thess. 2:6] is the Holy Spirit; and according to them the Holy Spirit would be taken away to heaven in the church seven years prior to the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus. If there be so absurd a statement in the history of Christianity, this holds first place. To take away the Holy Spirit is to take away the Father and the Son likewise because they are God. God is indivisible. God is one. God is omnipresent. To take away the Holy Spirit from one segment of the universe (earth) is to deprive that section of God and the power to hold together what has been created, and since the cosmos is one seamless piece of cloth, it would mean the disintegration of the entire universe. But if they argue that only the influence of the Holy Spirit is taken away or set aside, that would be veering away from the original language of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory; and without the influence of the Holy Ghost salvation would be impossible inside the Tribulation Period and there will be no understanding of Scriptures. Who, then, is the restrainer? The restrainer is the archangel Michael (Daniel 12:1).
