As for this worthless servant, cast him outside into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
I am also cast outside, into the darkness.
But I am not a worthless servant.
I am an Eternal Flame. An Everlasting Fire.
I was the instrument that God chose.
I will deliver His Justice.
Avenge the innocent.
I was born in Darkness… hidden.
Sculpted by His Hands.
And only the Blessed do not meet me.
Hellfire… there is no such thing.
Don’t let the crafty one deceive you.
No matter their religion. No matter their beliefs.
I’m known throughout the world. Since the beginning of time.
There are many appellations for where I reside.
Some call it Hades; others call it Gehenna; some call it Sheol. Others… Niflheim, Diyu, Xibalba, Naraka, Jigoku.
There are so many names.
In the darkest recesses of all of Creation, is where you’ll find me.
In the darkest of nights is where you’ll see me.
In the darkest place, without any hope, is where you will meet me.
I will be forever lighting up the fiery graveyard of the damned.
Forever doing the Will of my Creator Almighty God.
I am the second Death.
My flame lights up this darkened world.
Beyond the wide road. Beyond the wide gate.
Beyond the entry gates of hell… In a fiery graveyard skeletal figures dance around.
Ghosts… Drowning in an ocean of flames.
Ghosts… Knowing that there is no escape from the relentless unending night of horror.
I was born in the womb of darkness.
I was sheltered in the nether world.
A flame bathing in a lake of fire
A nightmare beyond human comprehension.
I am a flame that can never be extinguished.
A flame that will outlast the stars, the moon, and the sun. They will all pass away, but not me.
Life as men know it will pass away, but I remain.
I am a flame that is everlasting.
A bedrock of consistency, a fortress, tirelessly doing the Will of the Almighty.
Like mankind, I have a beginning but no end.
Didn’t the fallen hear the Angels voices? Didn’t they hear the Angels singing?
O night divine! The night when Christ was born.
Didn’t they hear the good news?
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room.
Was the table set too high?
Instead, they poison their Souls by the life they lead.
While living, they crucified their own souls.
The ghosts dance, a dance of death. A dance of pain.
Blood curdling yells that go unheeded. That is ignored.
Shouts. Shouts of grief. Shouts of regret.
Curses. Curses that they didn’t listen to God.
Curses. Curses for those that deceived them.
Too late. It’s all too late
They were born into the world by the Almighty and made to be Masterpieces, but instead they became vile cheap works of art.
Blinded by the Light, because they prefer darkness.
Handed over to their degrading passions.
They were playing with fire, while dancing and laughing.
Even at the hour of their death, they do not plead for mercy and grieve at the offenses done to God and repent. Instead, they are more concerned about my flame, than about having offended a Holy and Loving God.
Narcissists!
More concerned about themselves and hell, than having offended the Almighty.
How Foolish!
There are people who flirt with Heaven but find the seductive advances of another suitor more to their liking.
They become imprisoned to a lifestyle that leads to Death.
There are others that play the field and date both.
While dancing, they have one foot in Heaven and the other foot in a secular world.
They mix honey with poison.
And it results in their Death.
As a lover I will warmly embrace them with a burning passion that is unimaginable.
Dark angels and dark ghosts reaping what they have sown.
An unending night awaits them.
They have harmed themselves.
Are there no longer any tears for the damned?
Will the everlasting years wash away people’s memories?
Will they be forgotten?
Rev. 20: 14-15 “Then Death and Hades were hurled into the fiery lake. This fiery lake is the second death. Anyone who was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the fiery lake.”
Luke 8: 28 “When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him; in a loud voice he shouted, ‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!’”
Mt. 25: 30 “As for this worthless servant, cast him outside into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Jn. 12: 46 “I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.”
The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna – A Treatise Of Discretion
“This fire burns and does not consume, for the being of the soul cannot be consumed, because it is not a material thing that fire can consume. But I, by Divine justice, have permitted the fire to burn them with torments, so that it torments them, without consuming them, with the greatest pains in diverse ways according to the diversity of their sins, to some more, and to some less, according to the gravity of their fault. Out of these four torments issue all others, such as cold and heat and gnashing of the teeth and many others. Now because they did not amend themselves after the first reproof that they had of injustice and false judgment, neither in the second, which was that, in death, they would not hope in Me, nor grieve for the offence done to Me, but only for their own pain, have they thus so miserably received Eternal Punishment.”
“But if the soul have light to know and grieve for her fault, not on account of the pain of Hell that follows upon it, but on account of pain at her offence against Me, who am Supreme and Eternal Good, still she can find mercy. But if she pass the Bridge of death without light, and alone, with the worm of conscience, without the hope of the Blood, and bewailing herself more on account of her first condemnation than on account of My displeasure, she arrives at eternal damnation.”
Mk. 16: 16 “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
Mt. 7: 21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”
Zec. 13: 7-9 “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate, says the LORD of hosts. Strike the shepherd that the sheep may be dispersed, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. In all the land, says the LORD, two thirds of them shall be cut off and perish, and one third shall be left. I will bring the one third through fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is tested. They shall call upon my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they shall say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
Mt. 7: 13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and those who find it are few in number.”
