Admin	The restraining power Posted : 25 Apr, 2011 04:16 AM Thank you brothers for comments. I have reconsidered this message for Arabs which I offered you to read and I think I need to make some corrections: 1. If the Rapture of the Church will be not before the tribulation period but before the Coming of Jesus (according to the verse in Revelation. i.e. with the last trumpet) then the Church will not escape the wrath of God too. We should face tribulation period too. 2. The restraining power I said is the Church. But it could be also the power of the Holy Spirit, so He could restrain the anti-christ and evil�so, then My message should be read so: Because when we seek God, He will be found by us. He could be known by us and should be known! Brothers, Jews are right and those, who live as God says, are the restraining power in this world. The Bible also says that a restraining power will be removed soon. What is this restraining power? Let's read about it: Who now hinders, or restrains - ὁ κατέχων ho katechōn. This is the same word which is used in 2 Thessalonians 2:7, and rendered "withholdeth," except that it is there in the neuter gender. There can be no doubt that there is reference to the same restraining power, or the same power under the control of an individual. But what that was, let's consider it. Some Christians think that this restraining power is the power of the Holy Spirit. What is the purpose of the terrible wrath of God against this earth�many calamities�wars and disasters? They are aimed to TURN HEARTS of people Muslims, Jews and gentiles to the God of Israel Jesus! This coming suffering and woe are aimed to make people to RECONSIDER their godless lives and turn to the Creator - Jesus. Post Reply

And He is holding back the antichirst from coming until his time according to I & II Thessalonians, when God determines the day of Christ's return... and the restraining power of the Holy Spirit also restrains , holds back the hand of God from bashing in our heard-heads by God when we disobey and sin... Thank you Jessss-ussss:dancingp::ROFL: Being that the Holy Spirit interceeds for us before God, and He protects us from all forms of evil, and so much harm and danger seen and unseen, we don't even have a clue.. thank you Jessss-usss!for your Restraining Power!!!:yay: GOD IS JUST TERRIBLE!:yay::dancingp::applause: Post Reply

It is the The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, Commanders of the LORD's Army, Archangels, Cherubim, Legions of Angels and who knows what else...anything at God's disposal. There is a War going on!....Unseen by most, unseen even by most Christians. Post Reply
