There will be many who turn to Christ during the tribulation period ( the tribulation saints in Revelation ). The Holy Spirit must still be active drawing people to Jesus during that time so it cant be the Holy Spirit… unless it’s referring to the Holy Spirit within each and every believer ? Now, what if all those people were taken out of the way and their prayers for peace suddenly stopped ? What if the Church suddenly vanished…
The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

Revelation 11:3,4 KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Psalm 52:8 KJV
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
Two candlesticks are the two churches that did not offend God in Revelation.
Revelation 11:7 KJV
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
The two witnesses testimony are killed in the house of God/ external church. Extinguishing their ability to save people through the Holy Spirit.
Holy Sprit has been removed from the house of God. Salvation continues outside the external churches.

Hallelujah Father You are justified in how You deal with the oppressors you have given man so much time but he can't rule himself it corrupts him and no You are not a tyrant you gave man thousands of years to try do his own thing but now he has gotten himself in such a mess he needs help for the peril he is in is great and he is touching things that he shouldn't, rebuke him You are justified
The Holy Spirit simply unwinds/limits/relaxes His restraining mandate, which results in evil coming to the fore. He certainly does not leave the scene entirely. This same phenomenon has happened many MANY times in Israel's history.
Lam 2:3
He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: 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 Lord goes back to dealing with Israel the way He dealt with them in their dispensation. The Holy Spirit is among them. He can and does draw back, leave them to their own devices or removes Himself from them. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a church age blessing.
I know you know this, this truth drives the replacement folks nuts!
PSALM 51:11
Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy holy Spirit from me.
The Church NEVER has to pray this prayer.
