Episode 429 – St. Michael the Restrainer

Luke21 - Catholic Biblical Prophecy

2 THESSALONIANS

The identity of the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2 has puzzled Christians for many centuries. There have been many ideas about who the restrainer is, but none are very persuasive. This all changed for Steve after reading the work of Dr. Colin Nicoll. The key to the puzzle was the book of Daniel. Steve discusses the true identity of the restrainer using Dr. Colin Nicholl’s work on Thessalonians and the book of Daniel.

Referenced in today’s episode:

• 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
• 2 Thessalonians 2:4-6, 9-10
