Who cares if they were called "Moe, Larry, and Curly"? The point is they lived back then and wrote down what the early church was told by Paul about the identity of the restrainer - that is was Pagan Rome. And as H. Gratten Guinness said, "...no one
(including you and I, CoreIssue) in these days can be in a position to contradict its testimony as to what Paul had, by word of mouth only, told the Thessalonians. It is a point on which ancient tradition alone can have any authority. Modern speculation is positively impertinent on such a subject."
The little horn from the third beast and the ten toes is the AC who will reunite them.
Sorry, but the Little Horn is the Antichrist (papacy) which arose among the Ten Horns (ten barbarian divisions of the Roman Empire) and are identical to the Ten Toes of Daniel 2 (Daniel 7 is a "repetition and enlargement of Daniel 2).
His demon is the deadly wounded head of the beast has seven heads.
No, deadly wound to the papacy was caused by Napoleon when after the predicted 1,260 years of papal reign, French general Berthier was sent by Napoleon to arrest and imprison the pope and the papacy was declared dead. This is textbook Protestant Historicism, and you, my friend, are preaching false Jesuit Futurist ideas because you've been seduced by the same lies that have seduced "Protestant" prophecy teachers today, who like you, refuse to acknowledge what the ECFs said about the Restrainer because what they said doesn't fit into their false Jesuit Futurist ideas.
Nope, Paul did not say it, but it has to be. How else could lawlessness be restrained worldwide?
Who said the Man of Sin is "worldwide" while he is restrained? He is only "worldwide"
after he arises and reigns over it.
