KML,

Wow!!!!

That was a really thought out and detailed study.

When you mentioned:

" When we read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3

Who is "he" who now letteth and will let until "he" be taken out of the way? ( the restrainer)
The restrainer is The Holy Ghost, our comforter. "

I agree with you.

I know there are some people who do not, saying that the Spirit of the Lord is present and active in the tribulation.

However, there was a special earthly ministry of the Son of God, up to the ascension.

And there is a special earthly ministry of the Holy Ghost, from Pentecost until the blessed hope.

That special earthly ministry involves the Holy Ghost within the church, indwelling the believers.

That special ministry completes as he takes all the believers, resurrected, up to meet Jesus.

Also, I'm glad that you mentioned the silver trumpets.

It seems that many of us have forgotten them, thinking, rather, that "all" the trumpets are rams horns, which is not true.
