Reflection on Rev 14:11
And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
These words, too, are extremely topical at this time we are going through, and they are a clear warning. They warn people not to receive the mark of the beast’s name or to worship him and his image. It means not to pay divine honours to the beast because divine honours belong to God alone. As for those who take no heed of the warning, laugh at it or make their own interpretation so as to avoid the least sacrifice, the Scripture says to them: “Their torment ascends forever, and they have no rest day or night” already in this life and unquenchable eternal torment awaits them.
The previous verse reads that if anyone receives the mark of the beast, he himself shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels. So it clearly speaks about an extremely great suffering, and also about its length. Then it is emphasized that this suffering will last forever. Why? Because by receiving the mark of the beast a person renounces his own will and is no longer able to make an act of perfect contrition. He is unable to admit his guilt, disobedience or rebellion against God. He does not turn to the Saviour and does not call on His name with faith to obtain the forgiveness of sins. He has voluntarily surrendered his will to the beast, who is an instrument of the dragon, i.e. the devil and Satan.
What terror will the beast use to force a person to submit is written in chapter 13: “No one may buy or sell except one who has the mark.” We are already seeing this in the implementation of current laws, which will mean in practice that no unvaccinated person will be allowed to enter the store, will not be admitted to the hospital, will not be able to travel or work…
Furthermore, the Apostle John, who received from God a vision of the present time, writes: “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” So it is clear here that this is an apostate church hierarchy, which at this critical time will also serve the first beast and the dragon, i.e. Satan, in the highest places. It is quite clear that Bergoglio has abused the papacy by enthroning the Pachamama demon in the main basilica of the Catholic Church. It is quite clear that Bergoglio is in rebellion against God by promoting sodomy, and even pseudo-marriage of sodomites. He drags all who obey him onto the path of the infernal dragon, which leads to eternal destruction. This is exactly the path that both Orthodox patriarchs follow in complete unity with Bergoglio. It is a path of heresies and apostasy on which the very essence of the Gospel of Christ is denied, and on the contrary, a false gospel is preached. Every Christian must know that if a member of the clergy hiding behind God’s authority radically opposes God and His commandments, the following words of Scripture apply to him: “If anyone, even an angel from heaven, preaches any other gospel, let him be accursed… I say again, let him be accursed, anathema.” (Gal 1:8-9) Similarly, according to the Dogmatic Bull of Paul IV, if a clergyman, be it a deacon, a priest, a bishop, a patriarch or a pope, commits a heresy that destroys the foundations of Christ’s teaching, he is automatically expelled from the Church of Christ. From that moment on, he occupies the office illegitimately, and the believers must no longer obey such a prelate, such a false lamb, who is in fact a beast.
