[size=x-large]The Restrainer[/size]
According to Paul, what two things characterized the world situation at the time he wrote? How do we see the great controversy revealed in these verses? 2 Thess. 2:6-7.
Combining these verses with the previous ones, we can see that Paul is outlining three stages of history from his time until the end. The final stage begins at the Second Coming. Before this stage is the revelation of the man of sin ( 2 Thess. 2:3), also known as the lawless one (2 Thess. 2:8). And before that stage is a time of mystery and restraint (2 Thess. 2:6-7).
While we would like very much to fully understand Paul
