A 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.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.
