“god of forces” is the Devil himself.

This plays out in Revelation 13 and why the punishment is so severe in Revelation 14.

I would certainly agree it is the Devil. Rev. 13 and 14 are an enigma, and there is much speculation and disagreement on what they mean.

Some parts are clear though, and this would tend to confirm that the god of forces is the beast (one or more individuals?) is possessed by the Devil and "Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

Later it talks about making war against the saints so that definitely refers to strength, implements of war and force.

I do believe literally about the mark of the beast and the punishment for taking it and/or worshipping the beast is the lake of fire forever.

Rev. 13 mentions male virgins. There would be some Christian male virgins who are not priests or monks but I wonder if that would include the latter, the ones who keps celibate and chaste.

I still don't know what or who the first and second beasts are.
