2 Th 2:6-7
And you know what restrains him now,
so that in his time he will be revealed.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work;
only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

I believe that Michael is the restrainer.
He is the one that keep the spirit of the man of lawlessness under restraint until such time that Michael will “arise”…cease what he is doing.

Michael is still restraining.
The man of lawlessness has yet to be revealed.

Read what happens.
Let us read the entire sentence…three verses…

2 Th 2:8-10
Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan,
with all power and false signs and wonders,

and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish,
because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.

We learn much in this sentence.
Focus on verse 8.

The lawless one will be revealed.
He will no longer be hidden nor secret.

The Lord will eliminate the lawless one.
Keep this in mind as you learn more and more about these days yet to come.
The Lord is victorious.

The Lord will eliminate him “with the breath of His mouth”.
The Lord will bring the mans of lawlessness to and end by the appearance of His coming.

This is worthy of praise.
This is worthy or rejoicing.
