RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH.
THE RESTRAINER OF EVIL
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way (2 Thessalonians 2:7 ESV).

Thereโre three restrainers of evil the Bible talks about; one is the government. Romans 13:1-4 tells us that the powers that be are ordained of God and that theyโre established to restrain evil. The second restrainer of evil is the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, โAnd when He (the Holy Spirit) has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgmentโ (John 16:8 NKJV).
The third restrainer of evil is the Church. Jesus said weโre the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and when light shines, darkness recedes. Among these three restrainers of evil, the Church is the one who restrains evil by the power of the Holy Spirit. The scripture states that the restrainer will be โtaken out of the way.โ That certainly wouldnโt be referring to government, because thereโll be governments during the reign of the Antichrist. In fact, when the Antichrist comes, heโll establish a government.

Also, the Holy Spirit wonโt be removed from the earth after the Antichrist is revealed, because Heโs going to cause 144,000 Jewish men to carry out ministry in the earth after the Rapture. The Bible tells us a large multitude of people gave their hearts to the Lord during the Great Tribulation, and the only way those people could have been saved is through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
So, out of the three restrainers of evil, only the Church will be taken away before the Antichrist is manifested. The Church is expected by God to restrain evil today. Weโre the light of the world and the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13-14). When we decree a thing, itโs established unto us. Satan canโt lord it over the nations; he canโt perpetuate his wickedness in the nations of the world and in the lives of men as he desires to because weโre putting him in check. Weโll continue to restrain him and reign gloriously in the earth by Jesus Christ until the Rapture takes place. Glory to God!

PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for your grace upon your Church as we reign by grace through righteousness, illuminating the nations and hearts of men with your light and truth. We restrain the forces of darkness from lording it over the nations; your righteousness, peace, mercy and truth prevail in our streets, in our schools, cities and nations, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
2 Thessalonians 2:6โญ-โฌ8 AMPC And now you know what is restraining him [from being revealed at this time]; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by His appearing at His coming.
