'Holding' in the Bible
Therefore, we speak of you with pride among the churches of God for your steadfastness [your unflinching endurance, and patience] and your firm faith in the midst of all the persecution and [crushing] distress which you endure.
You know what it is that is now holding him back, so that he will be revealed when his time comes.
For the secret of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the person now holding it back gets out of the way.
