In a series of exchanges with a teacher of the pre-trib rapture doctrine, Alan Horvath, I presented the following survey of scriptures which clearly identify the identity of the “restrainer”, or the one who “letteth” . This identification is crucial, as rapture doctrine holds that this person is the Holy Spirit, who will be removed from the Earth at the rapture of the church.
Michael, The Archangel
Because we believe and teach that the rapture is a false doctrine with many stumbling points for sincere students of prophecy, and that it is a corrupted interpretation of prophetic scripture; it is important to make such corrections to the end of disarming the rapture by pointing out the fallacies of the teaching. The restrainer is NOT the Holy Spirit, nor is the Holy Spirit removed from the Earth during the time of tribulation!
The evidence presented in this study provides sufficient scriptural references to lay the axe to the root of this aberrant teaching, and demonstrate WHO this restrainer is, as well as lay out the mission of the Holy Spirit to the believer.
An excellent posting Randy….. and proven by THE WORD of GOD and by THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH to be true, once again.
