Revelation 3:5 – (2) I will never blot out his name from the book of life
☞ <Revelation> 3:5 - He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. (NIV); 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); All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine. (NLT)
○ As I will explain in detail later, the Book of Life that Jesus has appears six times in <Revelation> such as 3:5, 13:8, 17:8, 20:12, 20:15, and 21:27.
1) Book of Life in <Revelation> 13:8 – Chapter 13 of <Revelation> records the last great tribulation or distress (Matthew 24:21) for the last one ‘seven’ (or the last one week) (c.AD 10,733~10,740) among the Daniel’s 70 weeks (Daniel 9:24~27), and <Revelation> 13:1~8 are the first half of the last one seven as 42 months or 1,260 days or 3.5 years (c.AD 10,733~10,736.5=3.5 years).
☞ The dragon hurled down to earth from the war in heaven (Revelation 12:9) and the king of the kingdom of the sea (Revelation 13:1) as the sixth beast (or king) of the seven heads (or kings) (Revelation 17:9~10) will attack Jerusalem and destroy the temple of Jerusalem. After killing all the saints and taking over the temple of Jerusalem, the sixth beast (or king) will rule the whole world (Revelation 13:7). And after death of the king of the kingdom of the sea, another beast (or king), the seventh king of the kingdom of the earth will appear (Revelation 13:11). And the dragon, the beast of the earth, and the beast of the sea (now as image) will deceive humans (Revelation 13:14) and they will become God the Father and Jesus Christ. So, all inhabitants of the earth, all whose names have not been written in Jesus’ Book of Life, will worship the beasts of the sea (now as image) and the earth. To worship is to offer sacrifices and offerings. Then, in the second half of the last one week (c.AD 10,736.5~10,740~), they will abolish sacrifices and offerings (Daniel 9:25, 12:11).
☞ Those whose names are in the Book of Life can easily tell that the dragon, the beast of the sea (now as image), and the beast of the earth are antichrists and are fake (or false) God the Father and fake Jesus. But those whose names are not in the Book of Life cannot, therefore, they will be on the side of the antichrists. That is why they will receive the 666 mark, which is the name of the beast of the earth and the sign that they are on the side of the antichrists (Revelation 13:16~17). Therefore, your name must always be in the Book of Life.
☞ <Revelation> 13:8 - All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. (NIV); 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)
2) Book of Life in <Revelation> 17:8 - The beast (or king) in <Revelation> 17:8 will be the fifth beast (or king) and the eighth beast of the kingdom of the Abyss (or the underground), who will appear at the time of destruction of the great city of Babylon by the Army of Jesus, between after Jesus comes in the air over the earth (c.AD 10,740~) and before Jesus comes directly to the earth in order to participate in Armageddon War (c.AD 11,700~).
☞ Although the beast is the fifth king among the seven kings, but once was, now is not (Revelation 17:8~11), but because he appears in the future, so he becomes the eighth king. The fifth and eighth king of this Abyss will fight with the Army of Jesus in the Battle of the great city of Babylon and will be defeated and destroyed (Revelation 17:14~17).
☞ All those whose names are not written in Jesus’ Book of Life will be astonished at the beast of the Abyss, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come. This means that the king of the Abyss will pretend to be “who was, who is, and who is to come” (Revelation 1:4, 1:8, 4:8), that is, God the Father and Jesus Christ, and deceive all the people by claiming that he is God the Father and Jesus Christ.
☞ Those whose names are in the Book of Life know right away that the beast of the Abyss is the antichrist, but those whose names are not in the book of life cannot tell the difference and stand on the side of the king of the Abyss. Therefore, your name must always be in the Book of Life.
<Revelation> 17:8 - The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come. (NIV); 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)
