The Holiness of the Lord detains lawlessness

1 Samuel 21:7

“Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.” 1 Samuel 21:7 The servants of Saul were not walking with God, but Saul had made them to be the chief herdsmen. They had authority over all the herdsmen who watched over all the herds. Doeg had the command to take David and to have him killed, but the Lord detained Doeg on that day. Lawlessness was detained on that day.

Today, the herds are the masses of people in every city around the world. Those in authority over them are not walking with God, they deny His existence, discard the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and trample on the Holy Spirit. They demand that those under them welcome the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, and does to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through them. By allowing it to live and speak through them, their direction in life is determined, the mark or station in life is formed, it synchronizes us to the mark of the beast. Those in authority over us have the order to put down the followers of Jesus Christ and Christianity as a whole.

Lawlessness is the destiny of this current world because they reject the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the only One who detains lawlessness from being unleashed onto the world. Already, we see lawlessness in the world like never before, and it will continue to worsen as the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way,

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 

2 Thessalonians 2:7-10

As followers of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is what enables us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a lawless world devoid of the Holy Spirit, we are the salt of the earth, we are the ones with the Light of Christ and the message of Life which we have in Him.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be ^[a]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 1:8

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
