I would agree with him, based on what the scripture says but I don’t think you have to worry either. Remember when the Holy Spirit came on the scene? Jesus specifically said that the Holy Soirit couldn’t come to them until He (Jesus) had left. It was going to be His way of ministering these past 2000 years. Before that, people were justified by faith and still will be, though they still Have the benefit of Jesus and His testimony from His time here. Do t worry, He is always there for those really seeking Him. It seems remarkable to me that we see the Holy Spirit leave right before Jesus comes back to rake His place here again, permanently. One of the other big purposes of the Restrainer is to hold back evil on the earth. The tribulation will be the removal of that safety mechanism for that short time. But God will not abandon or forsake a single person that is to belong to Him. It may be a rough, short walk for many in that time but He will be holding their hand the whole way. 😊

I'm doing good except for my fractured bone. I got the cast off but there is a lot of swelling in my ankle and my insole. You would think that I fractured that area of my foot instead of my big toe. Thank you for your concern. Blessings to you my friend!

Thanks for sharing Hala. Praying the Lord give His faithful servant relief and healing for your fracture and injury in Jesus Name.

That’s a good question Maggie— we understand in this context that the Restrainer is removed when we’re raptured…. He’s holding back so much evil. But, I don’t know if the Holy Spirit leaves this earth… yet. Will it be possible for people new saved believers to be filled with the spirit. I don’t know? But they are his children and although they won’t be able to escape the seven years of tribulation, he will not abandon them or leave them! And He’s retuning again too!

This is a good question to be answered by Pastor Jimmy or Pastor Mark 🙂
