2Th 2:7 | CPDV | STEP | For the mystery of iniquity is already at work. And only one now holds back, and will continue to hold back, until he is taken from our midst.

‏ 2 Thessalonians 2:7

7 For the mystery of iniquity is already at work. And only one now holds back, and will continue to hold back, until he is taken from our midst. ^{▼▼2:7The one who holds back the mystery of iniquity, so that it does not result in the actual arrival of the person of the Antichrist, is Christ present in the holy Eucharist. That is why the abomination of desolation, a false Eucharist is associated with the Antichrist. When the abomination replaces the Eucharist, then the Antichrist begins his reign of terror against the Church.(Conte)}
