The claim that the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:7 is the Holy Spirit is taken from John chapter 16. The only problem with this interpretation is there is no mention of the second coming at all. The verses below speak to the immediate future of Jesus Christ while He was still alive in His incarnate body, not the second coming. Jesus is being removed in the physical sense by being crucified. He is telling you He will come back in the form of the Holy Spirit or comforter.

The most important point below;
How on earth can you confuse the Holy Spirit with the devil? It is not the Holy Spirit being removed from the earth but it is the devil being removed from heaven to be revealed. The subject is satan being revealed, not the Holy Spirit being concealed or withdrawing Himself. If you have a PhD and you can’t follow subject and object you better go back to school.
2 Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. (“He”, is satan or antichrist)
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. (“He”, is satan or antichrist)

These verses are the key to understanding the difference between the physical satan and the evil spirit of satan. “He” is the antichrist the one who is revealed not concealed. You can’t just inject the Holy Spirit in here.
John 16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
Christ was speaking about His death burial and resurrection still yet to come at this point in time. He wasn’t speaking about His second coming or the Holy Spirit having to be removed before His second coming.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
There is no mention of the word “cant” here, but the word “if” is. The point being made here is we have the assurance of the presence of God in one form or the other if we truly believe.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
He doesn’t restrain sin but He convicts us of sin

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. (John 12:31)
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
Speaking of His crucifixion and Resurrection and His return after the resurrection.
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
When you find out I’m still alive and resurrected from the dead

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
None of John 16 mentions Christ’s second coming only his death burial and resurrection. Also, there is not one mention of the Holy Spirit being a restrainer or binding sin.
Make sure to make the distinction between the coming of the Lord and the Day of the LORD

The Holy Spirit can convict of sin you no matter where he is at, It is impossible to place Him in one location if you truly understand the nature of Him. He, Jesus and God cannot be separated if they are truly one.

John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Examples of restraint and angels being restrained
Jude 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Another form of the word Letteth, witholdeth or to seize
“Seize” G # 2902 krateó: to be strong, rule Original Word: κρατέω
Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: krateó
Phonetic Spelling: (krat-eh'-o) Definition: to be strong, rule
Usage: I am strong, mighty, hence: I rule, am master, prevail; I obtain, take hold of; I hold, hold fast. Same word found in Matt. 21:38, Luke 4:12, 8:15, 4:9 Acts 21:40, John 5:4 and more.
2 Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
Who is doing the restraining, Michael or the Holy Spirit and where is it being done? If the claim here is the Holy Spirit withdrawing himself from the world then why is the word “revealed” being used? If The Holy Spirit withdraws Himself He would be hiding instead of revealing Himself. This just doesn’t fly.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Here is how Dr. E.W. Bullinger sees it.
Letteth-Holds fast-Greek “Katecho” Supply the ellipsis by “there is one who holds fast” Instead of by repeating the verb “will let”, but “Katecho” IS A TRANSATIVE VERB and an object must be applied too.
If the subject is satan the “son of perdition” which means “to perish “is established in verse 3 it should not be departed from until verse 8 where the LORD will destroy satan with the brightness of HIS coming.
The object must be the location of satan in the heavens to be cast out as in Revelation 12:7 to 9 implies satan will be cast out of heaven to the earth. The verses below indicate the time when he will be cast to the earth in person as the false messiah.
Second part of verse; “only he who now letteth”, better said; “only he who now restrains” (referring to Michael). “Will let”, better said; “by removing the restraints”, Michael will let him go by casting him out. (The devil, dragon, satan, the serpent)The accounts of this event are found in Revelation 12:9, Luke 10:18, John 12:31, Revelation 13:13 Revelation 13:5, Ezekiel 28:1, Isaiah 14:13, 1 Timothy 4:1, Daniel 7:25 all refer to the same event.
Where is satan at this time? How is he revealed in his time?
The verses used below explain the source and location of evil to be cast out of heaven in the near future. Satan’s evil spirit is already here at work in the world, but the verses below explain the person of satan being cast to earth and revealing him to the entire world.

Ephesians 4:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
John 12:31 Jesus says; Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. (To the earth as the false messiah) (prince of this world is referring to satan as the antichrist).
Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (Destroyer) (To Perish)

Revelation 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is CAST DOWN, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Two and one half months)
Revelation 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, (satan) burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
