‘Behold the Man!’, one day Pontius Pilate shouted,
Governor of Judea,
To folks demanding Jesus be crucified.
‘Behold the Man!’ Though innocent, folks were stouthearted!
Thus, they fulfilled Isaiah,
Who, of this exact scene, had long prophesied. 1
Imagine that~
By satan, these folks’ words and actions were catalyzed,
‘His blood be upon us and upon our children!’ 2
Yet overall, Father God was in control,
Allowing His salvation plan to be realized.
Lives of their children they cursed …for generations,
In Revelation 12, that’s satan’s goal!
Envious… of Jesus, Lucifer was so thoroughly.
Envious… of Him sitting on Father God’s Throne.
Envious… of His title, Lord of Heaven and creation.
Devious… to commit the first sin, plotting treachery.
Devious… to think as Earth’s god he’d be enthroned.
Devious… to deceive folks to join in his own damnation. 3
Come! The day of his damnation surely will.
Come! The day his demon cohorts will join in.
Come! The day his human cohorts stand before God’s Throne.
Mum!! For each and all, it’s time to pay the bill.
Mum!! No defensive word muttered in Heaven.
Mum!! Just before into the lake of fire they’re all thrown! 4
Ahhh! But not mum for long!
Eyes weeping… dry tears, since the heat will be evaporative!
Teeth gnashing... never wearing down, in bodies eternal.
Anguish deepening… endless thoughts, how horribly they erred.
Cries shrieking… to which folks’ immortal ears will be sensitive.
Deep thrashing… against the brimstone and fires sustainable.
Brutish deluding… thinking there’s an exit where they entered. 5
Is THIS the man?! Questions echoing across the abyss,
The man who made the Earth tremble, and so many kingdoms shake,
Who was so deceived that he attempted to …dethrone The Lord?!
Is THIS the man?! satan a human?! Now that’s quite a twist.
He’s then like devils who chose ‘their proper domain to forsake’.
satan in human form, just like all human folks ...he abhorred! 6
Yep, that’ll be the man, with all devils that exist,
The Lord’s immutable justice that awaits this entire crew.
Would it be just to resurrect folks in bodies immortal,
And leave them as spirits who the flames might not lick?! 7
The lake of fire isn’t open for business yet. There’s hope for you,
If you make sure that place won’t be your …destiny eternal.

1 See: John 19:5, Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22
2 See: Matthew 27:25
3 See: Ezekiel 28:13-15, embedded in a broader prophecy, The Lord referring to Lucifer in the midst of spiritually upbraiding a wicked King of Tyre. See also: Isaiah 14:12-17 for a similar upbraiding of a wicked King of Babylon. It is interesting that Revelation 22:1 & 3 twice refers to Father God (Who is Spirit) and Jesus, The Lord God (now a resurrected, glorified, immortal human), sharing one Throne! All His true (not fake) saints shall eventually be ...just as He now is ...emanating glorious light.
4 Revelation 20 even specifies the order in which this hoard will be cast into the lake of fire.
5 A total of 7 times, The Gospels record Jesus confirming in the lake of fire, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 8:12, 13:42, 13:50, 22:13, 24:51, 25:30, and Luke 13:28) 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 weeping and gnashing of teeth in the lake of fire 7 times?! Obviously, it’s my imagination that ‘paints this stanza’.
6 See: Isaiah 14:16, Genesis 6:2, 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 6. See also: Humans’ DNA Hacked (Poem) and especially The Goshen Effect, Grand Finale (Poem, Part 5)
7 NB: Folks who omit to perceive The Bible's strategic links between Genesis 6:3, 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 6 will very likely also miss the strategic hint The Lord appears to be giving us in Isaiah 14:16 about the final human state of satan and his demons. Also, Revelation 19:17-21 reveal the (likely) first immortal human residents in the lake of fire will be the anti-Christ man (the beast in Revelation), and his prophet (prime minister?).
