Dear Kelton,

>I'll stab at this one, BDAG on page 635 views this as a neuter substantive which gives the idea of "among something."  Then it goes on to say that  EK (TOU) MESOS means "From among."  
>So with that in mind, one could come up with...
>"He has taken it away from among (them), nailing it to the cross.

The use of EK MESOU in 2 Thess 2:7 seems similar to the usage in Col 
2:14. Something disappears from the scene.

Yours,
