4.Question:
 Who is not being restrained?

How do we know that it's Jesus coming that is being hindered and not the man of sin?

2Th 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

2Th 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

(Suffering is a part of Gods plan for us. 2 Tim 3:12 is one example of that.)

2Th 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven his mighty angels,

2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(What revelation are we talking about ? It's the revelation of Jesus.)

2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

2Th 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

(Note that he doesn't separate his coming from our gathering unto him.)

2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

( Immanency as it is taught today, the any moment return of Christ is a deception. )

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except , there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

(Here is where most everyone loses it, that day shall not come except! What day? Not 2 days , not 2 more comings , no, that day! The day he returns and gathers us unto himself . There is an exception to his return . A restrainer , something that is withholding that revelation. This is an area of deception , not just a difference of opinion.  

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? ?

2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he (Jesus) might be revealed in his time.

Very few understand this text , they are trying to make it say something it doesn't. If you read the passage with Jesus "that he (Jesus) might be revealed in his time." makes much more sense , not to mention you don't have to speculate because the letter was just that , a letter not some cryptic message.

See! That's how the restrainer can be both a he and an it.)

(The spirit of antichrist was already at work, but the antichrist himself was not yet revealed thus hindering or restraining or withholding Jesus revelation in his time according to God's plan.)
