Did You Know? The Holy Spirit's Astonishing Role During the Tribulation Period!

In 2 Thessalonians 2:7: The question of the Holy Spirit's absence during the tribulation arises from misinterpreting this verse, which talks about the restraining power of the Holy Spirit.
It says the secret power of lawlessness is already at work, but the Holy Spirit currently restrains it.
Prior to the tribulation, one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is to restrain evil.
Verses 8 and 9 reveal that the Holy Spirit holds back the revelation of the Antichrist until God wills it.
The passage indicates that the Holy Spirit will no longer restrain the growth of evil during the tribulation, but it doesn't mean He will have no ministry at all.
In Acts 2:38–39 assures the indwelling of the Holy Spirit for every born-again believer, and this promise is not rescinded in Scripture.
Revelation 7:9–14 indicates a multitude will be saved during the tribulation, which requires the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Tribulation saints will need the Holy Spirit's guidance and direction during that troubled time.
The Spirit is omnipresent, being everywhere at all times, so He must be present in the world during the tribulation.
Only God knows when the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit will be removed, leading to the revelation of the Antichrist and the beginning of the tribulation period.
The assurance of the Holy Spirit's presence during the tribulation offers hope and salvation for those who turn to Jesus during that time.
