Bible Note: Hi Luke, I should have said "from the foundation of the world", and yes, the referrence is to Rev. 17:8. I apologize for my error. This verse talks of those who worship the beast, those whose names were Not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world. The implication is that there is another group, consisting of those who Are written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world. However, if you do not agree with that, we can go elsewhere. 2 Timothy 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Does this help? Love in Christ, Mark |
