Matthew 24:1-22 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. (2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (3) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (6) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (7) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (8) All these are the beginning of sorrows. (9) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. (10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: (17) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: (18) Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. (19) And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (20) But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: (21) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Just recently, due to the Malachy Prophecy, many people, even many Catholics have accepted the idea that the Last Pope will be the end time Anti-Christ. While I find it an interesting phenomena, I don’t put much stock in extra-biblical prophecy. What very few of these same people will readily admit is that the Papacy itself is the seat of the Anti-Christ, but it is the next logical step. Perhaps the Reformers were right all along, but I may just agree to agree that the Last Pope is in fact the End-Time Anti-Christ.

Now I have looked at many different ideas as to exactly what or who “the restrainer” is. Search the internet and to the number they all incorporate the pseudo-seventieth week of Daniel or some other form of counter-reformation left behind eschatology. A veritable cornucopia where no answer is wrong, simply choose the one you like the best! I choose to first look to the plain reading of the text…

(2 Thessalonians 2:1-10) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, (2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Apparently there arose some speculation that Christ would return at any moment, here Paul puts down the doctrine of an imminent return, at least for that time.

(3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Here Paul lists: 1. a falling away; 2. that man of sin be revealed. And he reminds them that he told them these things in person, they knew then – there was no debate. The Futurist Scheme puts all of these in the future simply because the object of counter-reformation eschatology was to deflect the evidence that the Papacy was and continues to be the seat of the Anti-Christ.

(4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (5) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

In verse four he describes the man of sin, we can easily understand how the Reformers discerned that this was the Papacy. But the Futurist wants to put this in an unbuilt future Temple because of the phrase, “sitteth in the temple of God.” Something like this may or may not happen, but what is sure is that the scripture says, “know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost” and that we are the body of Christ, a temple made without hands. living stones, and that many have vicariously put the Papacy in the place of God! Who can deny that this is at least a viable interpretation which cannot be excluded by the scripture alone? Nor can it be excluded by the facts of history.

(6) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

What withholdeth are the two things listed, that he, that is Christ, might be revealed in his time, completes the answer to the first question and primary subject, “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

After the summary Paul changes focus in verse seven to the mystery of iniquity and the man of sin calling him “that Wicked” whom the Lord will consume at his coming. If the Papacy is indeed the Seat of the Anti-Christ, then that which needed to be taken out of the way would have been the reign of the Ceaser’s to make place for the throne of the Papacy. The Papacy satisfies every description of the man of sin.

(7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

The mystery, The Roman Empire, was already at work, to which the scripture explicitly ascribes its power as being from Satan. The Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy steps it up a notch to put the man of sin in the place of the Biblical God by vicariously taking His place. Many of the Caesars claimed they were gods and even demanded worship, but none of them claimed to be the God of the Bible, even vicariously.

(8) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Of course the Last Pope, whether the present one or not, as The Last Anti-Christ will suffer the things described here when the true Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ does return. We are still waiting for the facts of history to catch up with the left behind escatalogical view. Until the temple is rebuilt and some dupe goes into the holy place and calls himself God. I’m hoping you’ll agree to agree that what I have presented here is a viable interpretation which cannot be excluded by the scripture or the facts of history.
