Neither. That is not the cause, but perhaps a symptom. The "lie" that was believed set everything off. So, yes there were and still are all kinds of rabbit holes and trails that the church has veered into. But none of those are the root cause. Same problem, but not the root cause.

To "perceive" it (God's spirit and activities).

With all that is written, and all that is exposed through life experiences, there hopefully comes a time or plateau of understanding that God's design for this world is to bring those who pick up on it all in spirit, to that higher place of God Himself. Which may sound like the high road, but as...

Look, you can take warning and realize that what was taught was tainted by the foretold "lie" resulting in "strong delusion" "already at work" 2,000 years ago, or not. Meanwhile, I am telling you that what was foretold is true, as is your misinterpretation of it, and the arguments against will...

Those are good questions we all should consider. However, by those definitions, I would not have a "theology." Which I would not even offer, except that it is good to know and have confirmation that ones "beliefs" do or do not rest upon a foundation of what is actually "known." In my case, and...

This is the point where your hypothesis goes off track. Many do the same thing, saying "God is not the author of confusion." Which is simply an emotional response resulting in error and misunderstanding. However, in the greater reality of God it is He in fact that created confusion: "Come, let...

It's easy to mock as you have. Even so, I have been most reasonable in explaining that if there is any restraint--because God is in control, it is therefore God who restrains. Which ought to change most interpretations.

There is a different way of seeing it: What is the general, all-time, restraint upon the earth and all its inhabitants? It is heaven and God Himself who guards (restrains) with flaming swords of fire, indeed, until the end. In this way, Paul's elaborations are his way of beating around the...

Right, "time no longer." The other quote I was referring to, was: 1Co 15:24.

That's you talking. To the contrary, the scriptures speak of "The Beginning and The End." As it is written: "Then comes the 'delay?'" No.

Sure. However, included in the scriptures (and thus my explanation) is the foretold derailment of all theology since that time: Jesus stated and warned of it, as did Peter, and also Paul. Meanwhile, the pure word and promise(s) from God are also foretold. In other words, there is an...

We have no need to fear the end, but many do. But I was not meaning to threaten or cause undue fear, only to note the time. The end that I was referring to is biblical. Which is the end and finish of revelations from God (as He declared to His servants the prophets), and the end of time as we...

That was the beginning of the sounding. More to come.

Yes...and what has ensued since, is the gentile version of that same type of blindness that overcame Israel, causing both the Jews and the gentiles to have rejected the coming of Messiah when He came. Even so, the spirit of God is poured out upon all flesh, and the finish of the mystery of God...

They were shortsighted, and not given the full knowledge of God according to the restraint and seal which was not to be given until just before the sounding of the seventh angel.

That is a bit sketchy. I have my area and this is not it. Mine is the end, not so much the beginning. Which is not to say I have nothing to contribute. Foundationally speaking, it should be considered that all origins good, bad, or evil, all point to the End, which is Christ Jesus. Meaning, no...

Personally...I couldn't say ;)

More than just Israel's suffering, but indeed, that of all.

The legs are long and the feet extend even to the end of the body.

No, those are mere foreshadowings, while what they foreshadowed and what Paul spoke of, was the finish of the mystery of God before the sounding of the seventh angel. The confirmation is the testimony of John, which I also confirm. The restraints Paul spoke of remained in place during the fall...
