2 Thessalonians 2:5 -Do you not remember what you previously understood, that while I was last with you I was teaching you these doctrines? v. 6 -And now you know what thing [ the power of the Holy Spirit ] restrains [ under rules of engagement ] him [ Lucifer & later the Beast Dictator ] now [ Church Age ] so that he will be revealed in his dispensation [ Tribulation ]. v. 7 - For the mystery of lawlessness [ mystery doctrines of the Church Age related to satanic strategies ] is already operational. Only He Who restrains [ the Holy Spirit ] will continue that ministry of restraint until He is taken out of the way [ at the Rapture ]. v. 8 -At that time [ international notoriety ], the lawless one [ Beast-Dictator ] will be revealed whom the Lord will later annihilate with the breath of His mouth [ virtuous violence ]. In fact, He shall neutralize him by means of the sudden appearance of His Second Advent [ parous…a ( parousía ) ];

2 Thessalonians 2:9 -whose presence [ the Beast-Dictator’s ] in history shall be according to the modus operandi of Satan with all power and by means of extra natural phenomena and pseudo wonders through propaganda, ( EXT ) 2 Thessalonians 2:10 -and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
