    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Ok, you are not providing any substantive information on the identify of this individual. Who is the little horn? Why is he also the sea beast in Revelation. You have no need to jump to Revelation... he is first introduced in Daniel and God has given us an awlful lot of information describing...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Well, for someone that has himself declared you are not sure and do not know, you are definitely sure it has nothing to do with the church. Best wishes always,

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    How can one disagree when they don’t really have their own opinion on the matter. Have you studied Daniel? If lawlessness is found in the 1st century and that means there are those that preach a different gospel, and the gospel preached by Paul and the others represents the teachings of the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Then you will have to look harder… I mentioned earlier that in order to be “lawlessness” there must be something to be identified as “the law or what is lawlessness.” And since lawlessness has been found in Paul’s time it means that there have been folks preaching a different gospel than what he...

    Lawlessness is found before the lawless one is revealed.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    The church was started by Jesus after the cross. And it would not take long for lawlessness to be found within the growing community. The apostles, Paul and the other followers of Jesus would go out preaching the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus and they would find those that would...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Why do you say that Nero is the sea beast? What is your understanding of who the sea beast and the earth beast is? Does your interpretation of the lawless one in 2 Thessalonians 2 fit well with the 7 markers? Would you mind offering your understanding of this chapter? Thanks.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    With all of that in mind, and I realize this is beyond the topic here, but have you identified the earth beast in Revelation? Thanks.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Very nice! The little horn would only come to full power once pagan Rome would see its demise in 476 AD (7:11). Thanks for your comments.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    If you get a chance to respond and show how the 7 markers support your opinion that the Holy Spirit is the restrainer and the other 6 elements, I would certainly be interested. Thanks.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Very well. But maybe you should challenge your opinion of the Holy Spirit against these same 7 markers and Timothy, Acts, and John and many others in Daniel. Good luck.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    What do you think of the comments made in post #15 by @covenantee ? Could you please comment on whether pagan Rome could be the restrainer? What is being restrained? What happens to pagan Rome in 476 AD? Who succeeded pagan Rome? Does any of this sound familiar? Can you easily connect these...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    As you know, there are more than a few interpretations on 2 Thessalonians 2. Most simply throw these verses into the end times and then build a story around it. Satan will come, 7 year tribulation, this is when he will be revealed, and so many other thoughts that have come to surround these...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Verse 3 is clear that the falling away and revealing of the man of lawlessness occur before the day of the Lord and our gathering to Christ. But I still have difficulty identifying Paul’s specific restrainer as the Holy Spirit’s restraining influence. Paul does not simply describe a general...
