This series has discussed five effects of the Goshen-type,
Protective measures introduced in Egypt’s protype.
In total, I understand there’ll be a total of six,
As The Lord’s multi-millennial strategy predicts. 1
The fifth effect has brought us to His Great White Throne,
When He and firsts-resurrection saints are back home, 2
Following our awesome thousand-year reign,
known as The Lord’s Day,
During which our power and glory on Earth were on display.
Since then, by the kingdom of satan, the whole world is beset,
A choice season to enlarge the catch in his deceptive net.
As an angel said long ago, satan knows his time is short,
Thus he promotes his two top demons onto the world’s court. 3
Voila! They’ll have GREAT success captivating hearts and minds,
With all conceivable, despicable, wicked designs,
Culminating in the most egregious attack in history,
On Israel and Jerusalem, The Lord’s most holy city.
Thus, you might say Armageddon was …just a mere practice run,
For a worse attack sometime after the new millennium!!!
From Heaven, The Lord will rain down fire on this invasion, massive,
Then sometime afterward, He’ll end all human life, comprehensive! 4
The stage in Heaven is thus set for the final-resurrection,
For folks long dead who missed the firsts, due to their sinful condition,
And folks who weren’t born before the firsts resurrection.
From death, they’ll be awakened, for their …life inspection.
Before The Lord, all these folks will stand and give account.
But above all, one key question will be paramount:
In life, whom did you evidence that I, The Lord, am?
He’ll consult The Book of Life to expose any sham. 5
Judgments over, time for …the grand finale Goshen Effect,
With a modification concerning whom He will collect.
He'll segregate the righteous in this crowd for unique protection. 6
The un-righteous He will assemble …for their hellish induction.
Into the Lake of Eternal Fire, satan’s kingdom will be cast,
With every un-repentant sinner whom his imps will have amassed,
Since the beginning of our history!
Imagine such an odious bevy!
In the lake of fire they will will join its first residents,
And thus together, they will fulfill its complement.
For a thousand years plus, the anti-Christ and his prophet,
Will have been there, cognizant, in body, soul and spirit.
Don’t dare think this evil throng will be …‘in spirit form’.
Or that the flames might be …a little hotter than warm.
Not a chance!
As immortal, asexual humans they will be!
Don’t worry…
I'm not offended if you choose not to believe me.
Proof of my assertion that even devils will become human,
Is based on various insights from The Bible I have gotten.
First, in all creation, fire is fire, not a metaphor.
Second, in hell, ‘there’ll be gnashing of (real) teeth’, in rancor. 7
News Flash: Spirits don’t have teeth!!!
Pause to ponder:
Would it be just to resurrect folks in bodies immortal,
And leave devils as spirits who hell’s flames could not lick?!
Third, through Isaiah, The Lord pre-pronounced satan’s judgment,
And quoted folks who would gaze upon him in resentment:
‘Is this the man who made Earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,
and destroyed cities,
Who made the world as a wilderness,
and showed his prisoners no mercies?' 8
Fourth, recall the demons who made an error that was grossly huge,
Becoming humans, corrupting our species, causing the deluge.
While The Bible affirms they were locked away pending judgment,
It never says they were allowed …to reverse their infringement!!!
Therefore, it’s safe to conclude all demons will be thus transformed,
And will be judged by every righteous human
whose world they stormed. 9
Do you agree The Lord’s judgment is righteously fitting?
And in the judgment seat, are you prepared to be sitting?
If you’re not sure whether in this evil throng you’ll be counted,
Or in the judgment seat with Jesus Christ you’ll be anointed,
There’s still time to make your righteous reservation,
And to embrace the free gift He calls …salvation. 10

1 The Holy Bible.
2 Back in Heaven, which may likely be the new, eternal Earth The Lord promised to create in Isaiah 65:17 and 66:22. See: Bible Raptures (Q&A) and Ponder This ... (First Resurrection, Second Death, Hell).
3 See: Revelation 12:12. It is significantly instructive to compare the roles of Gog and Magog in triggering the 1st and 2nd Wars of Gog and Magog (the 1st likely during the apocalypse, and the 2nd at the end of the post-Millennial Reign age. (Revelation 20). Ezekiel 38:6 & 15 cite these demons as controlling/influencing events across the land in ‘the far north’ (presumably north of Israel, i.e., currently The Russian Federation). After the Millennial Reign, Revelation 20:8 cites these same demons as having global influence, inferring a MAJOR PROMOTION!!! I intuit these fellas might be satan’s ‘go-to’ demons for his ‘heavy-lift’ assignments! See: Revelation - Future Attacks in Israel and also Armageddon (Series).
4 Including folks whose lives were spared during the invasion.
5 See: Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 13:8, 17:8, 20:12-15, 21:27 and 22:18-9. Just after the post-Millennial Reign age, everyone who will not yet have been resurrected, will be resurrected (dating back to the 1st age of history!), and along with everyone who is alive at that time, and will all be raptured to appear at the Great White Throne Judgment. (Revelation 20:11-15) This is the last resurrection in The Lord's resurrection series. This huge group will include those who will become saints likely after The Millennial Reign age. (See: Salvation in The Millennium (Series))Their names will have been written in The Lord’s Book of Eternal Life, which He will consult at that time. This is when He will 'separate the sheep from the goats', spiritually referring to saints from the post-Millennial Reign age, and sinners from the all ages in this massive crowd. Each person will be in his/her immortal corporeal form! Revelation 22:18-9 are effectively Jesus’ clear, stern ‘copyright’ on all things revealed in what would become The Book of Revelation, with a stern warning to anyone who would dare modify His and Heaven’s final, authoritative revelation of Him, His deity, and His closing chapter plans for humanity. Carefully consider what this means for all subsequent religions that posit significantly different end-time predictions. See: Is Jesus God? (Part 5).
6 As was done/will be done in earlier Goshen Effects.
7 Matthew 8:12, 13:42, 13:50, 22:13, 24:51, 25:30, and Luke 13:28 each speak of ‘weeping and gnashing of teeth’ in the eternal lake of fire. As you read these verses, recall, a key principle in Scripture is to ‘let every key point be confirmed by 2 or 3 witnesses’. (Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15, Matthew 18:16, 2 Corinthians 13:1, 1 Timothy 5:19, and Hebrews 10:28) So what message is The Lord signaling by confirming this point about gnashing of teeth in the lake of fire 7 times?!
Rancor: bitter, rankling resentment or ill will; hatred; malice.
8 See: Isaiah 14:12-17. In the midst of a predicted future, proverbial upbraiding the king of Babylon, the proverb addresses Lucifer, who became satan, and who apparently was the king’s motivating spirit. Some Bible scholars flatly deny this, while others question at which verse the proverb, inspired by The Lord, returns to addressing the king of Babylon. Read it and form your own opinion in context of the entire Bible, including what happened in Genesis 6:1-3, Jude 6 and 2 Peter 2:4, and their relationship to the global flood.
9 See: Humans’ DNA Hacked (Poem). Paul affirms the born-again righteous …’will judge angels’. (1 Corinthians 6:3) I can’t imagine why we would need to judge the holy angels, but we all know …demons are fallen angels!
