Of course the Holy Spirit is omnipresent, because it is that individual portion of the Father's Spirit:
it is without contradiction. And THAT is the only thing that restrains the fullness of iniquity and
sin in the world. It is NOT the denom's or the temples; it is NOT you or me; it is the Holy Spirit
in the Church! Now this: the Holy Spirit will NOT be taken out of the world: it will be taken out
of the way..."And then shall that wicked be revealed..."!
You that refuse to receive the Holy Spirit: YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!

The problem is, this deception happens with the elect still on earth. If the Spirit has left then he has left the elect.
