God's pencil has no eraser. Rev 3:5 "Book of Life." A divine journal records the names of all those whom God has chosen to save and who, therefore, are to possess eternal life ( Rev 13:8; 17:8; 20:12, 15; 21:27,: 22:19; compare Dan 12:1; Luke 10:20). Under no circumstances will He erase those names . . . , as city officials often did of undesirable people on their roles. (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1996) Phil 4:3. "Book of Life." In eternity past, God registered all the names of His elect in that book which identifies those inheritors of eternal life . . . (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1828). When were our names written in the book of life? "From the foundation of the world." Before the first man was ever born, the names of the elect were written in the book of life. Rev 17:8 NASB "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come." Rev 13:8 (NASB) All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. "Lamb slain". The Lord Jesus who died to purchase the salvation of those whom God had chosen was fulfilling an eternal plan. "from the foundation of the world". According to God's eternal, electing purpose before creation, the death of Christ seals the redemption of the elect forever (compare Acts 2:23; 4:27, 28). Antichrist can never take away the salvation of the elect. The eternal registry of the elect will never be altered, nor will the saved in the Antichrist's day worship him. (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 2010) |

Hello, What about this verse in Rev. 22:18-19 (Rev 22:18) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (Rev 22:19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. How does God take away his part out of the book of life? The only way I know of is to erase or strike his name out of the book. I think about it like this. God loved the world so much that He gave His Son (John 3:16), and He is not willing that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9), so before the foundation of the world, God wrote everybody that was to be born into the book of life. The only way our name can be taken out of the book of life is to die in your sin, that is, die without accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior. I have never heard anyone else say this, but I have thought about it for a long time. We tell people that when they accept Jesus, their names are written in the book of life, but I can't find that in the Bible, only that our names are written in the book before the foundation of the world, and then that they can be taken out of the book, see Rev. 22 again. What do you think, later...wdc |

wdc: You asked: "What about this verse in Rev. 22:18-19? . . . (Rev 22:19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the *book of life*, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. "How does God take away his part out of the book of life? The only way I know of is to erase or strike his name out of the book" (emphasis added). The point of my answer is that in Revelation 22:19 the editors of the NASB, NIV and 11 other translations of the Bible chose the reading "tree of life" rather than "the book of life." In these 13 translations "How does God take away his part out of the book of life?" becomes a moot question. |
