Daniel 11:36-38
New American Standard Bible
36 “Then the king will (A)do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and (B)boast against every god and will (C)speak [a]dreadful things against the (D)God of gods; and he will be successful until the (E)indignation is finished, because that which is (F)determined will be done. 37 And he will show no regard for the [b]gods of his fathers or for the [c]desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will boast against them all. 38 But [d]instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, precious stones, and treasures.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
New American Standard Bible
3 (A)No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the [a](B)apostasy comes first, and the (C)man of lawlessness is revealed, the (D)son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above [b](E)every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, (F)displaying himself as being God.

The Beast from the Earth
11 Then (A)I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had (B)two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a (C)dragon. 12 He (D)exercises all the authority of the first beast [a](E)in his presence. And he makes (F)the earth and those who live on it (G)worship the first beast, whose (H)fatal wound was healed. 13 He (I)performs great signs, so that he even makes (J)fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people. 14 And he (K)deceives (L)those who live on the earth because of (M)the signs which it was given him to perform [b](N)in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the (O)wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even [c]speak and cause (P)all who do not (Q)worship the image of the beast to be killed.
