AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 3:5 'He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] will accordingly be dressed in white clothing; and I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess and openly acknowledge his name before My Father and before His angels [saying that he is one of Mine]. [Ps 69:28; Dan 12:1; Matt 10:32; 1 John 5:5] |
Subject: Book of Life "will never be altered." |
Bible Note: Greetings Kalos, the way I see Rev. 13:8 is in agreement with your view and that being that only the names of believers; however as to when they were written in the book may leave much dispute depending on the translation used. Rev. 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rev. 13:8 And 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. Someone made reference to ones name being omitted in Rev. 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. There again it doesn’t actually say name but his part, which could tie in with another verse. 1 Cor. 3:15 If any man's work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. In essence what it is conveying to me is that the individual in question will be saved, he just won’t have anything to go along with it. Kind of like everybody standing around in nice white robes and he will be standing there in his B.V.D.s (God shall take away his part) This wouldn’t even be necessary if he wasn’t there in the first place. What got him there, as with all, was believing in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, not something he did with reference to God’s written Word, by changing or omitting. Just because the thesis is true in a verse does not necessarily mean that the antithesis is true as well. Rev. 3:5 'He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. |
