Paul had already previously spoken to the church about the subject of the Rapture (verses 1 and 2 of that dissertation), which is why he told them, “And now you know what is restraining…”  Not to mention that there are certain things the Lord doesn’t want Satan to know, and the timing of the Rapture and the plan of redemption are two of those things. As for Michael, he is in charge over ISRAEL, not the rest of the world; from what I understand, each nation has a different angel in charge of that nation.  And I don’t believe Michael is going to be removed at all; I have a feeling he will be right there alongside our Messiah and us at the Battle of Armageddon.  BTW, I could be wrong too, but I have a feeling we don’t have long to wait until we can ask Him ourselves!  Hang in there, brother Rick, we’ll soon know!
