The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite… Galatians 5:17

Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed—the one who brings destruction.

He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4	Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. end times second coming idols
