Mary welcomes back Stand Up favorite Gary Kah to talk about ongoing world events in this first half of 2025. More importantly, are we praying and taking these events to the Lord, knowing He has it all in hand and yet understanding how important intercession is to protect and defend what we have been given? With this unique perspective, we look at both domestic and foreign issues, such as the US economy, Europe, Israel and much more. We often look at prophecy and ask "how late is it?" - but to God, Who is outside of time, the hour isn't as important as seeking His face, His will, His direction. Gary has been warning us about globalism way before anyone else, and while the wheels grind rather slowly in our lifetimes, here we are and still observing the push-and-pull between nationalism and globalism - and knowing that The Restrainer is at work until such a time that the scales tip toward the kingdom of Antichrist.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Acts 17:10-12 reveals that when the Apostle Paul came to Berea, he discovered the Bereans were “more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica” because “they received the word with great eagerness” and were “examining the Scriptures daily to see whether” the things Paul was teaching were true. During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd shares highlights from his visit to Berea, now called Veria, Greece, along with insights from God's Word regarding the Bereans and how they processed Paul's teachings. In addition, Dr. Dodd will provide a brief update concerning Israel. Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

Thanks for listening and we pray this podcast encourages you and helps grow your walk in the Lord! God bless!Ch. 12-14 Notes:Ch. 12 reviews human history. The 'woman' represents the nation of Israel, and the 'child' she is carrying is the Messiah. The 'great red beast' (v9) trying to kill him is Satan. The 'serpent' in Genesis 3 has now grown into the 'great red dragon' in Revelation! Ch. 13 reviews the 7 years. The Antichrist reigns during this time. The 'False Prophet' assists him. Christians, at all costs, must not take the 'mark' of the beast at the end of ch. 13. This is probably the reason most of them are 'martyred' in 6:9-11, the 5th seal. Did not cover it in the podcast, but I believe the 'mark' in some way includes the bar code. Every one begins and ends with '6' and has a '6' in the middle! Also, without the 'mark' no one can buy or sell. (13:17)"Ch. 14 is about the two 'harvests'. The first reviews the Rapture of 11:15. The second previews God's bowls of wrath in the coming chapters (15-18) of Revelation."Podcast Addendum/ correction:Jenkens/LaHaye are fiction writers of the 'Left Behind' series, not Biblical scholars.

2 Thessalonians charges out of the gate by discussing two of the scariest subjects in Scripture: hell and the antichrist. Both of these frightening subjects carry a message of hope for the church experiencing a sampling of hell and antichrist-like figures.

On today's episode of Renew Your Mind we continue with special guest Cindy Miller and her bible study of the book of Revelation! On this episode today we are joined by Senior Pastor Paul Gruenberg, Associate Pastor Jeremy Touroo and moderator Dana Hall. Thanks for listening and we pray this podcast encourages you and helps grow your walk in the Lord! God bless! Chapter 8-11 Notes: Chapters 8-9 are the Trumpets. The 'locusts' may be military helicopters or drones. Most saints will be gone by this time, martyred in Seal #5 back in 6:9-11. Ch. 10 may be a veiled reference to America. The 'angel' sounds like a description of our Statue of Liberty. Ch. 11's 'two witnesses' are referred to as lampstands and trees in v4. These may be two individuals who lead groups. 'Lampstands' represent churches in ch 1-3 of Revelation. `Trees` represent nations throughout the OT. The individuals may be Enoch and Elijah (neither 'died' in the OT). Churches may be Messianic Jews and Christians. Nations may be Israel and the US. This is pure speculation. Also, I believe that the 144,000 'sealed' Jews from ch 7 are one of the witnesses who are 'killed' in 11:7 after finishing their testimony. 11:15 - Then the Rapture, the climax of all of scripture, happens in 11:15 when "the kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord!" All dead saints are resurrected and taken to heaven. It is no 'secret'! v12 says that 'their enemies beheld them'. God always allows evil to believe it has won first. This happened when Christ died on the cross before He rose from the dead 3 days later.

What is preventing a total Satanic onslaught on our world? The Restrainer is still restraining. The Holy Spirit as well as the salt and light of the Church are all restraining forces in this earth!

Chris White continues his multi-part study on the timing of the events during the 70th week. This episode focuses on “palatial tents”, a term found in Daniel 11:45.  Chris reiterates that the chapter break between Daniel chapters 11 and 12 are confusing, and interrupt the narrative explaining the flow of how Antichrist appears to be victiorious in his success to rule the Middle East, and how he comes to his end in a manner congruent to a “psuedo death and ressurrection” of the Antichrist mentioned six times in the Book of Revelation. Chris also focuses on the wording of “at that time” found in Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12, and role of the Archangel Michael. Listen to this compelling explanation of a core element of the Pre Wrath Rapture positon, concerning the Antichrist and the Archangel Michael as the Restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the relationship of Daniel and Revelation.

2 THESSALONIANS Who is the "restrainer" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2? Although a respected conservative Catholic leader argued in 2020 that Donald J. Trump is the restrainer, Steve Wood argues that it is actually St. Michael the Archangel according to Revelation 20. The restrainer must have been present during the time when St. Paul was writing 2 Thessalonians, around A.D. 50. This makes it impossible for Trump to be the restrainer. Steve emphasizes the importance of using reliable resources, like the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, when researching biblical prophecy and quoting Greek words.

For those who demand that God deal with the evil in the world, here's what that looks like! Justice is a wonderful thing, and a terrible thing, depending on which side of it you're on. And what we see in Revelation is justice being dispensed. We see those who would destroy God if they could, being destroyed. Well, we are Christians, you say. None of this applies to us! But are we sure about that? The statistics aren't encouraging. Here's Jim with the conclusion of, The Restrainer.

2 THESSALONIANS The identity of the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2 has puzzled Christians for many centuries. There have been many ideas about who the restrainer is, but none are very persuasive. This all changed for Steve after reading the work of Dr. Colin Nicoll. The key to the puzzle was the book of Daniel. Steve discusses the true identity of the restrainer using Dr. Colin Nicholl's work on Thessalonians and the book of Daniel.

We have been taught that Jesus is coming like a thief in the night, and He could return any time, so we are to be ready. But if you look at this verse in context, what Paul says is that Jesus is coming as a thief in the night to unbelievers. Not believers. Unbelievers will be shocked.Believers are supposed to be ready. Then we will talk about who the RESTRAINER is because there is a lot of controversy about that. Join us today as Joel Richardson answers this question from our End Times Timeline Conference

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues in 2Thess. 2 verses 6-9 in this lesson. Thank you for studying with us as we explore the Word of God concerning that which is even now restraining the manifestation of the man of sin. The Apostle Paul wrote to these believers around 52 A.D. He states that even then the mystery of lawlessness was already at work. It is even now, today, still at work after these many centuries. But there is one who is restraining the man of lawlessness so that he is not revealed until his time. Dr. Mitchell will explain who the restrainer is. He also gives us the scriptures dealing with the certain destiny of the man of sin. He warns us about looking for signs and miracles because even Satan can perform signs and miracles. Here is Dr. Mitchell who exhorts us to focus on the Lord Jesus Christ as the center of our attention, 2Thess.2:6. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchanging-word0/message

Dr. Alan Kurschner explicated here in Part 2 the lines of evidence that Colin R. Nicholl adduces that supports the "Restrainer" being Michael the archangel. 1. Contemporary Jewish literature viewed the characteristics of Michael having eschatological pre-eminence as the chief opponent of Satan and Restrainer of God's people. 2. Michael is viewed as a celestial restrainer of God's people in Daniel 10–12, the passage serving as the source for Paul's exposition in 2 Thessalonians 2:3–8. 3. Daniel's use of the Hebrew term ʿmd comports with the activity of the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7. 4. The Greek term parerchomai in Daniel 12:1 of the Septuagint (LXX) means, “to pass by,” which corresponds with the ceasing of restraint in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7. 5. Early Rabbinic interpretation of Daniel 12:1 perceived Michael as “passing aside” or “withdrawing” just after Antichrist's establishment near or at the temple mount (Dan 11:45), just before the eschatological unequaled tribulation against God's people (Dan 12:1). 6. Revelation 12:7–17 supports viewing Michael as the Restrainer because it links the cessation of Michael's war against the dragon with the unprecedented persecution of God's people, which is consistent with 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7 and Daniel 11:45–12:1. Given this evidence, the only candidate who can explain the Restrainer being removed is Michael. Other proposals for the Restrainer are hard-pressed to comport with those roles. Thus, this is a strong case that the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7 refers to Michael the archangel as the Restrainer, whose ministry ceases and causes the eschatological temple to be desolated by Antichrist, ensued by his great tribulation against God's people. At the conclusion of the program, Dr. Kurschner explained Colin Nicholl's understanding of the masculine and the neuter in reference to Michael, where in verse 6, it is in the neuter gender to katechon (“what holds him back”), and in verse 7, it is in the masculine gender ho katechōn (“the one who holds him back”). Nicholl believes the best explanation is recognizing the Greek can use the neuter gender to refer to a person while the emphasis is on an exceptional quality of the individual (e.g., 1 Cor 11:5; 1 Cor 1:27–28; Gal 3:22; John 3:6; 17:24; 1 John 5:1–4; Matt 12:6). Thus, the neuter in verse 6 refers to Michael with a focus on his restraining ministry, while the masculine in verse 7 refers to Michael himself. Bibliography: In the April 2000 volume of The Journal of Theological Studies, Colin R. Nicholl published the seminal article, “Michael, The Restrainer Removed (2 Thess. 2:6-7),” arguing strongly that Michael is the Restrainer. After his journal article was published Nicholl published it as an appendix in his important monograph (which was his dissertation) From Hope to Despair in Thessalonica: Situating 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Cambridge University Press, 2004.        

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained the context of the Restrainer question. Who is the "Restrainer"? This question stems from Paul's text in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7.  "And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time.  For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way." Dr. Kurschner is from the persuasion that the identity of the Restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2:6–7 is the Archangel Michael. There are several compelling lines of evidence to conclude this, and the value of this conclusion is its consistency to the overall prewrath position, even though it is not an essential tenet to the prewrath view. From a negative point of view, it undermines the pretribulational interpretation that the Restrainer is the Holy Spirit. The Michael interpretation is not new since there have been about a dozen theologians and scholars over the last hundred years who have taken this position. Even Robert Van Kampen, a pioneer of the pewrath position, held to this view. But it was not until the year 2000 that a young Thessalonian scholar by the name of Colin R. Nicholl came along that would, for many scholars, put the nail in the coffin of the Restrainer debate. In the April 2000 volume of The Journal of Theological Studies, Colin R. Nicholl published the seminal article, “Michael, The Restrainer Removed (2 Thess. 2:6-7),” arguing strongly that Michael is the Restrainer. After his journal article was published, Nicholl published it as an appendix in his important monograph (which was his dissertation) From Hope to Despair in Thessalonica: Situating 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Cambridge University Press, 2004. Dr. Kurschner gave some context to Paul's restrainer text that helps situate this question for next week's episode. Paul reminds the Thessalonians that they know about the restraining ministry of Antichrist's revelation: “And so you know what holds him back.” The Thessalonians are under the false impression that the day of the Lord is occurring. To correct their error, Paul teaches that before the Lord's revelation happens, the Antichrist's revelation will occur first. But even before the Antichrist's revelation occurs, Paul explains that the individual who restrains Antichrist's revelation must be first taken away. Traditionally, the enigmatic person who restrains has been properly designated “the Restrainer.” Once the Restrainer is removed, this causes Antichrist's revelation, resulting in Antichrist taking his seat in the temple and proclaiming himself as God (2 Thess 2:4). When this happens at the midpoint of the seven-year period it will cause the abomination of desolation and the unabated great tribulation will commence. It was also noted that the issue of the identity of the Restrainer is not essential to the prewrath position, namely because it does not sway the fact that Paul teaches two events must occur before Christ's return: the apostasy and the revelation of the man of lawlessness. So one can be prewrath and disagree that it is Michael because it simply is not inherent to the prewrath position. Conversely, pretribs can hold the Michael view. Similarly, the issues of identifying the religion or ethnicity of the Antichrist, the False Prophet, the Great City of Babylon, or the Two Witnesses are not exclusive to a particular a rapture view. That being said, it is believed that identifying the restrainer as Michael is the most consistent interpretation and that it fits well with the prewrath position. In part 2 next week, Dr. Kurschner will distill Colin Nicholl's argumentation and provide specific lines of evidence.    

Chris White continues his multi-part study on the timing of the events during the 70th week. This episode focuses on "palatial tents", a term found in Daniel 11:45.  Chris reiterates that the chapter break between Daniel chapters 11 and 12 are confusing, and interrupt the narrative explaining the flow of how Antichrist appears to be victiorious in his success to rule rule the Middle East, and how he comes to his end in a manner congruent to a "psuedo death and ressurrection" of the Antichrist mentioned six times in the Book of Revelation. Chris also focuses on the wording of "at that time" found in Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12, and role of the Archangel Michael. Listen to this compelling explanation of a core element of the Pre Wrath Rapture positon, concerning the Antichrist and the Archangel Michael as the Restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the relationship of Daniel and Revelation.

In this episode of Marked by Grace, Pastor Heath talks about the restrainer mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:6.

And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. [1 hour 6 minutes]

Northwest Bible Church – Jan. 21, 2024 – 2 Thess. – Alan Conner 2 Thess. 2:6-8 The Antichrist's Restraint and Ruin Intro A. THE RESTRAINER (2 Thess. 2:6-7). 1. The restrainer was present in the first century (2 Thess. 2:6). 2. The restrainer is described by both neuter and masculine genders. 3. At some point the restrainer will be removed. B. VIEWS ON THE RESTAINER. 1. The restrainer is the Holy Spirit indwelling the church. CON: a. The restrainer “will be taken out of the way” (2 Thess. 2:7). b. No reference to a pre-trib. rapture in either 1 or 2 Thessalonians. c. If Paul had meant the rapture of the church, why not state it clearly. d. This Holy Spirit is active in this final period of tribulation. Mk. 13:11. 2. God ordained civil government whose role is to restrain evil. Rom. 13:3-4 3. An angel of God. Cf. Rev. 20:1-3. Support for the final judgment at the second coming rather than a thousand years later: Mt. 25:31-32; Jn. 5:28-29; 2 Thess. 1:5-10. Support for a judgment on Satan during Christ's first coming: 1 Jn. 3:8; Heb. 2:14; Jn. 12:31; Col. 2:15; Mt. 12:28-29; Ex. 12:12 (typology). The nature of this binding of Satan in Rev. 20:1-3 is not a complete removal of his influence and power but specifically “so that he would not deceive the nations any longer” (2 Thess. 2:3) which corresponds to the advance of the gospel among the Gentiles in this age. 4. Preaching of the gospel restrains Satan. Mt. 24:14; Lk. 10:17-18 C. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE LAWLESS ONE (2 Thess. 2:8). 1. The revealing of the lawless one. 2. The retribution on the lawless one. Cf. Isa. 11:4; 3. The return of the Lord. Cf. Rev. 19:11-21. Conclusion Things to Ponder: The fact that the man of lawlessness is now being restrained, how should the church respond today? What encouragement should we have in light of the second coming of Christ? What should be the believer's attitude toward the future?

Dr. Michael Weis explores an important and interesting subject that is connected to other areas within one's own prophetic views: defining who or what The Restrainer is, mentioned by the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2. Who or what is this? Many views are proposed and Dr. Weis briefly looks into each one, to see if it is valid or not, as he continues to biblically define important End Times Terms!  

Who is the Restrainer and what is He restraining? In this study from 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2, Pastor Bunjee Garrett teaches on the identity of the Restrainer and how we should rely on Him. The post Relying on the Restrainer – 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 appeared first on Calvary South Austin.

Who or what is it that restrains the man of lawlessness and the rebellion? How would you defend your answer? Through the analogy of faith? The Greek language? Historical records?
