Dear Bob ,

Thanks for including the reference/ link/  to the article Rowina & you discussed . 

 

  I appreciated moreover the sections on Increased tremors & restraining evil,  as I pray.

 

This exerpt is only a small portion  I found it helpful because the restraining forces were covered.

There are three things that restrain evil: One is human government, which God ordains for that purpose. The New Testament tells Christians to pray for the authorities. The early Christians even prayed for the emperors because they knew that if the emperor was not being influenced by God's Spirit, he would be influenced by another spirit. I don't like politicians much, but I certainly pray for them, because I know that if I am not praying for them, they will come under other influences and will make it bad for us. When the Antichrist comes, human government will be given into his hand........"

 

Human government, the Church preaching the Gospel,  and the Holy Spirit were the three particulars mentioned that restrain evil.
