All our names at some time are in the book of life. Our answer has everything to do with our salvation.

Actually Our answer is dependent on being able to hear the question :>))

Jesus told His disciples to "rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven." (Luke 10:20). Christ told them to REJOICE because their names were already recorded in heaven.

They couldn’t rejoice if they could be blotted out the next day. Revelation 17:8 , "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…"

"Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world…" (Eph. 1:4)

When I first saw this -

They couldn’t rejoice if they could be blotted out the next day. Revelation 17:8, "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…"

****

Rev.17 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were NOT written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

***

So as I read this it is the Sons of predition that is NOT written in the book of life!

****

Foreordained = Premoral

"Just as He chose US in Him before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:4)

****

Eph.1 According as he hath CHOOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated (consider)us unto the ADOPTION of children by Jesus Christ to himself, ACCORDING to the good pleasure OF HIS WILL,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
