The Book of Life

[Guest]

(Rev 3:5 KJVA) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

(Rev 22:19 KJVA) 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.

Do these scriptures mean a believer can lose salvation?

Why Would A Believer Add To Or Take Away From The Words Of Life And Of Joy?

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

Jeremiah 15:16

[Guest man]

Some people believe that a christian goes to heaven immediately after death. As you can see in Daniel, this is not the case. He doesn't rise to his inheritance until the very end.

Daniel 12

Daniel 12

Daniel 12

2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Here also could definately be referrencing a physical awakening, not a spiritual one.

Got any more?

(Rev 22:19 KJVA) 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.

I'm noticing no one is addressing what these Scriptures state.

What does it mean to have one's name blotted out of the book of life?

Daniel 12

13 "But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days."

2 verses to consider in your understanding:

2 Cor 5:6-8

6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

NKJV

Acts 7:55-56

55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"

NKJV

Rightly dividing the Word O.T. saints where held in hades Paradise side till Christ's work of redemption was complete and then led them out to heaven with Him. This is Daniels witness (your quote above) and Abraham's below

Luke 16:21-26

21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 "Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'

NKJV

Eph 4:7-10

7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore He says:

"When He ascended on high,

He led captivity captive,

And gave gifts to men."

9 (Now this, "He ascended"

(Rev 3:5 KJVA) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

(Rev 22:19 KJVA) 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.

Hi Neb!

Rev 22:19 Is the great seal upon His Word (Bible) the completed canon and His Word is a perfect work! So we who are under His blood have the perfection that is in Christ (The Living Word) whom speaks His Word perfectly! His Word becomes our words for us in the end

1 John 2:1-6

2 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

The Test of Knowing Him

3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

NKJV

Is it not so in your heart you wish to be obedient to Him? Is it not our sorrow when we are not? Paul as well Rom 7! Because this truth is in you, you have the promises of Rev 3:5

Rev 3:5 Is the promise of God based upon His promise of eternal keeping it travels all the way back through time to our Abram

The covenant ratified by God Gen 15:12-21 and the understanding revealed in the Book of Hebrews

Heb 6:13-20

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

NKJV

It is the greatest foundation of all understanding and it is our eternal security who are born unto a living hope which is found within us and those who have not this living hope are blotted out from the book of life and eternal death is their inheritance with satan their father!

How does this explain what the book of life is, and what it means that names are blotted out?
