1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

Pride appears to relate to the great tribulation. Although the church has had a proud heart from the very beginning, it is when God forsakes IT in tribulation that this pride reached its peak. And with pride comes God’s wrath on the body when Christ is revealed.
