The text states it like this, though:
"7b... the [one] restraining
at present,
will restrain,
UNTIL out of the midst he be come [/come to be], 8
AND THEN [kai tote]..."
https://biblehub.com/interlinear/2_thessalonians/2-7.htm
... which is worded is very similar language to that of:
"[Lam2] 3b...
he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like
a flaming fire,
which devoureth round about."
The words "... drawn back his right hand from before the enemy" is the
LIFTING OF THE RESTRAINT on the enemy, thereby releasing the enemy onto the scene of things, i.e.
letting 'er rip!--It is not the
total vanishing of the "right hand" that previously was RESTRAINING the enemy, but the removal of the RESTRAINING
ROLE / EFFECT.
So in the case of "the Holy Spirit," it is NOT that the Holy Spirit Himself completely vanishes off the scene, but that
His ROLE in "
RESTRAINING AT PRESENT" is lifted... Kind of
in the same way that
PRIOR TO His [/the HS] "coming" to permanently INDWELL believers/the Church which is His body (
see Jesus' reference to this in John 7:39 and John 16:7 ),
in His role [now] as the Comforter / Advocate / Helper /
Paraklétos (IN us), He still existed and was still omnipresent... His
role simply differed
prior to that point.
So here, in
this text (context), I believe another "role-change" is being referenced... taking place to pave way for the "man of sin" to be released onto the scene, a "SCENE-CHANGE" to come into play, so to speak, and the set-up for "the LIE / the FALSE / the
PSEUDEI" to be "believed"
by certain ones (
FOLLOWING this particular "change of scenes"
). If certain things were "spelled out" the way some insist, this would defeat the purpose God has for that future time-period when "HE SHALL SEND TO THEM" great delusion "
IN ORDER THAT THEY should believe THE LIE / THE FALSE / THE
PSEUDEI" (
IN / DURING the TRIB yrs,
FOLLOWING this "scene-change"
... when "the man of sin" will be existing and will DO ALL that he is slated TO DO
within those 7 yrs, after the "RESTRAINING [AT PRESENT]" is lifted, see...)
