That is very interesting. Could it mean that they were the ones who "executed" or "carried out" the sentence. They don't make the judgment or decision. They carry it out.

BTW -- Another question: Is the Lamb's Book of Life the same as the Book of Remembrance in Malachi?

That is what I am wondering..I have a "Companion Bible" that made a note of that in the greek....so it started me wondering ....

As for the Book of rememberance could be ..doesn't the bible say He will never forget us...Psa 139:16   Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.

Another interesting factoid I learned that night...The scrolls in Revelation are written on BOTH sides..as was the custom EXCEPT with scripture which was written on only one side of the papyrus....so the scrolls are not the scripture that the seals are on...

     Eze 2:8   But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.   

  Eze 2:9   And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book [was] therein;   

  Eze 2:10   And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
