Daniel 11: 36
"The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place
The coming of the lawless one will be a time filled with untold deception. Many will take him to be someone who knows much about God, but he doesn't. If he did, he will not do the things he does without any fear of God.Watch his words that come from his mouth. They will be words spoken out of his arrogance but his words will be as smooth as butter as though he is helping everyone with his words. In actual fact, he isn't helping anyone. He is bent on helping himself to a very selfish life. Watch his ways closely and you will be able to see that. He is centred on self.
2 Thessalonians2: 3-12
Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for [that day will not come] until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 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. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
