II Thessalonians 2:6-7 ” And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one Who now holds it back will continue to do so till He is taken out of the way.”

The Holy Spirit is the restraining force in this world…holding back the power of lawlessness and the devil.  He also is impeding the power of the many Antichrists existing now here on earth…for it says in I John 2:18, “Even now many (Antichrists) have come.”   This verse goes on to say that some day the Holy Spirit will be” taken out of the way”.  He will not actually depart…just remove His restraining power from earth.
