<s>[INST] explain the restrainer from the bible in context of simulation theory [/INST] I am unaware of anything called the restrainer in the Bible, so cannot put it in context of anything.</s>\ <s>[INST] Many scholars have speculated as to the identity of the restrainer, naming the restraining force as 1) the Roman government; 2) gospel preaching; 3) the binding of Satan; 4) the providence of God; 5) the Jewish state; 6) the church; 7) the Holy Spirit; and 8) Michael the archangel. We believe the restrainer is none other than the Holy Spirit, or we could say the Holy Spirit working through the New Testament church. [/INST]
