2 Thessalonians 2 9-2 Thessalonians 2 12
The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with all kinds of false miracles, signs, and wonders,and with every unrighteous deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth in order to be saved.For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,so that all will be condemned— those who did not believe the truth but enjoyed unrighteousness.

They have not rejected you; they have rejected Me as their king.They are doing the same thing to you that they have done to Me, since the day I brought them out of Egypt until this day, abandoning Me and worshiping other gods.Listen to them, but you must solemnly warn them and tell them about the rights of the king who will rule over them.”

1 Samuel 12 12-1 Samuel 12 19
But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was coming against you, you said to me,‘ No, we must have a king rule over us’— even though the Lord your God is your king.“ Now here is the king you’ve chosen, the one you requested. Look, this is the king the Lord has placed over you.If you fear the Lord, worship and obey Him, and if you don’t rebel against the Lord’s command, then both you and the king who rules over you will follow the Lord your God.However, if you disobey the Lord and rebel against His command, the Lord’s hand will be against you and against your ancestors.“ Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes.Isn’t the wheat harvest today? I will call on the Lord and He will send thunder and rain, so that you will know and see what a great evil you committed in the Lord’s sight by requesting a king for yourselves.”Samuel called on the Lord, and on that day the Lord sent thunder and rain. As a result, all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.They pleaded with Samuel,“ Pray to the Lord your God for your servants, so we won’t die! For we have added to all our sins the evil of requesting a king for ourselves.”

I will answer him according to his many idols,so that I may take hold of the house of Israel by their hearts. They are all estranged from Me because of their idols.
