2 Thessalonians 2:7  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains [will do so] until He is removed. (NASB2020)

 The Lord God has said that His Spirit will not always deal with man. 

But God, who is omnipresent in His creation still will know the heart of every man: even the totally wicked. Jeremiah tell of His knowledge of us and of His disappointments with us.  David had said after he sinned: “take not thy Holy Spirit from me”.  

So, what does God mean, when He says: My Spirit will not always contend with man? In David’s case, It was not that God would no longer Know him, but it was that God would no longer commune with him.  If His Spirit were taken from him; then there would be no more lighting of his path.  There would be no more check from God placed upon his own thoughts and desires.  Satan’s destructive energy would encompass his mind and his own energy.  He had seen this effect upon King Saul. You see without God through His inner workings in us all hope for a better life and certainly for eternal life is lost. 

 He is our salvation and He is the restrainer of evil in a civil society.  Society only remains civil because of the conscience within man due to the God factor in His restraining actions. God is the restraining force in all but the most reprobate of men. But even in those men, there are limits placed upon Satan as to what he can do with their lives.  

But we see in Revelation when restraint is lifted on the dragon, even then, Satan is not allowed to inflict the sealed of God.  But for men who have decided that they know more than their creator, it is on them that Satan will be unleashed. And they eventually will be given over to their own devises for their own rejection of God will have brought upon them their own destruction.  

So what is it that will be different when the Tribulation comes for God’s own?  God’s Holy Spirit will still know the hearts of man, but because they have become so wicked apart from His restraint; God will not contend with them, and all over this earth there will be men bombarded by Satan with reprobate thoughts, and they will do even as they now do in certain pockets within the earth where they have given themselves over to Satan and demonic forces.  They will under Satanic control seek out and destroy any remnant of God’s existence, within their domain.  

But God is not a sadist His nature is always toward justice. He is still looking for the contrite heart, not willing Himself men to perish.  His removal of restraint over Satan is the result of mankind’s having abandoned Him. 

Not on all of mankind will Satan be able to accomplish the reprobation of the mind.  It will be as it was in the days of Noah, where Noah and his family found favor.  God will still be working in lives. He will still be working in born again lives. That is His promise. He will  still be looking for and offering repentance during the Tribulation.  

But understand He does always know the hearts of man, and when He returns He will judge some, who are called the sheep from the nations to be worthy to remain on the earth as mortal men, during the millennial kingdom.  

Though a man himself may not know his own heart; don’t you ever think that God does not know everything that lurks therein. Only an unlearned man can claim Him to be removed from this earth at any time. And only a Satanically evil man will know the loss of restraint on his own soul.  So long as there are mortal men, God will desire that they be saved. This is His nature. 

Yet, Society is today crumbling of its own choosing. If this recent election was not stolen; then what occurred in all ways was even much worse, because that would mean that the majority of thinking people in this country chose for a party, who stands for the destruction of America as we know it; who stands for open borders; for child gender mutilation; for teaching in schools more about the Islamic religion while still banning anything concerning the Biblical God; for men in women’s sports; for race bating and division; for the protection of Palestinians who are made up of a religious society totaling almost 2 billion people; while at the same time approving the discrimination and even the elimination of a society of 12 million people (from the river to the sea); for the defunding of the police; and for the dumbing down of their own children in the federal led education system. 

What Jonathan Cahn has said in his recent before election warning is certainly in play.  If it comes out that this election on the other hand was stolen; only then is there still hope for this nation. 

Those would be my thoughts. God certainly has His, and those are in His word. I’m trying to abide by them.
