'Down' in the Bible

who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God -- the day doth not come.

and now, what is keeping down ye have known, for his being revealed in his own time,

for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now will hinder -- till he may be out of the way,

For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you: "If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat."
