Keep your eye on the Book of Life:
Revelation 20
12. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
13. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.
14. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.
15. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Here's where you find it first:
KJV Luke 10:20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
KJV Philippians 4:3
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
KJV Revelation 3:5
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.
KJV Revelation 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.
KJV Revelation 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.
KJV Revelation 21:26-27
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
KJV Revelation 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.
There are no TWO books of life; just one.
There's no paperback version with some names in it, and a leather bound, thin papered, gilt lettered one with CHRISTIANS WITHIN lettered on it's cover.
The Book of Life IS the Lamb's Book of Life!
There are no TWO books of life; just one.....The Book of Life IS the Lamb's Book of Life! I understand that and agree. However, my question concerns if we who are believers are "made alive in Christ"...then we are no longer "dead"....and when our physical body dies, then we "sleep." So during the Final Judgment that's described in Revelations concerning those who are "dead," is that not speaking to non-believers who were dead and whose names, therefore, were not found in the Book of Life?
