The restraining force holding back the revealing of the Antichrist
Holy Spirit, who indwells believers, is the restraining force that is holding back the revealing of the Antichrist until the time is right (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7).
Paul speaks of a "restraining force" that is holding back the revealing of the Antichrist. This restraining force is widely believed to be the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers.
According to this view, the Holy Spirit is present on earth to empower and guide the Church, and His presence serves as a restraint on evil.
The removal of the Church through the rapture will mean the removal of the Holy Spirit's restraining influence.
This would allow the Antichrist to be revealed and for the events of the tribulation to unfold.
So the Holy Spirit is currently restraining the full manifestation of evil in the world, including the revelation of the Antichrist.
Once the Church is removed from the earth in the rapture, the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit will be removed,
allowing for the Antichrist and his system of evil to come to full fruition during the tribulation period.
This interpretation is based on the belief that the Church is the primary vessel through which the Holy Spirit operates in the world, and therefore the removal of the Church would necessarily mean the removal of the Holy Spirit's restraining influence.
