The Lamb's Book of Life the Name of Every Human to Be Born of the Flesh

The Lamb’s Book of Life

The name of every human to be born of the flesh [conceived of woman] was written in the book of life by God at the foundation of the world. God will give the book to the One for whom it was always intended, His Son Jesus, the Lamb of God, and it becomes the Lamb’s book of life. By this, God reveals His plan for all creation and how that plan finds its rest in Jesus. Although we can do nothing to have our name written in the book of life, we can do something to have it erased. That something is called sin - to not believe God: His clear and plain witness, evident to all, in the six day creation and His perfect and complete witness, evident to all who hear, in the seventh day Incarnation.

By the seventh day, Elohim had completed his work of creating, so He rested. His work, however, was not finished. He planned to personally rule all He had created/made and to personally make Himself known to man - the one He created able to know Him. Elohim Yahweh accomplished both on the seventh day when His "Word became flesh [incarnate] and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as ofan only-begotten of a father.” God gave the law to guard man until that day and to lead man to its Fulfillment when he was born and came into the world. After God identified the only-begotten Word as His Son Jesus at his baptism and the One all mankind is to listen to at his transfiguration, He sent him into the world to rule as His King and bear witness to the truth as His Christ. However, not all received him, believing in his name. But to all who did, God gave the right by means of a new birth to become His children and have life in His Son. The Son alone knows the Father and makes Him known, and to know God as Jesus knows Him is life. The law was never intended to rule or give life but to keep both safe until they found their rest in Jesus. Jesus is not just a sin sacrifice, another prophet, or a good teacher. Jesus is the true light that shines in the darkness, ruling all God has made, revealing the truth about Him, and reconciling all things to Him. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation and of a new creation, and the One whom God loves and in whom He is well pleased. His coming divided the closest eyewitnesses into two groups:

Evildoers joined Satan in desiring to have the place and authority they knew belonged to Jesus [sin]. They attributed what Jesus did and said to Satan and falsely accused him. When this failed, they conspired with wicked men to put him to death on a cross. After his resurrection and ascension [righteousness], evildoers sought to stamp out the witness to his true identity and authority by killing his Apostles, while Satan sought to corrupt it by planting tares in the world: false apostles, prophets, and teachers. Although they were all judged in the last days of the Old Covenant [judgment] - the seven seals - their wrong response to the Incarnation survived, laying the foundation for all religions built by men. Their sin was not forgiven and their names were erased from the book of life.

The Apostles believed God’s witness in Jesus and received him as His Christ and Only Son, whom He had sent. They attributed what he did and said to God and witnessed his life, death, burial, bodily resurrection, and ascension. After his ascension, they bore witness to him [the way], wrote down what they had seen and heard [the truth], and by the Spirit made known to the world what these things meant [the life]. Their witness was confirmed by the power and authority given to them by Jesus, laying the foundation for his church. Their sins - transgressions of God’s law - were forgiven by Jesus, who alone has God’s authority to forgive sins, and their names remained written in the book of life. God’s witness in Jesus by the Spirit through the Apostles is grace to all who hear, for it reveals whether they truly believe God, giving those who do not the chance to repent.

All who do not believe in Jesus reveal they do not believe God [sin]. If they repent and believe, they will be forgiven by God. If they do not, they will die in their sin and their names will be erased from the book of life. When they die, their flesh returns to dust as their souls in Hades and their bodies in death await the resurrection to judgment.

All who believe in Jesus reveal they believe God. They become Jesus’ disciples and are blessed in knowing who he is and obeying him. In continuing to believe the Father, they continue to hear the Spirit and have the potential for life in the Son. However, until they receive the Son, they cannot receive his Spirit and have life in his name. Moreover, without his Spirit, they cannot know their names will remain in the book of life and their sins are forgiven. Nor can they be sealed in him and assured they will not cease believing; be taught the truth that gives life and bears fruit that remains; be freed from the harsh yoke of the law and the heavy burden of guilt; be one with him and each other and so avoid dividing over their differences, denying his broken body and shed blood. Divisions put disciples in danger of falling prey to blind guides: false fathers who displace the Father, false teachers who displace the Spirit and false leaders who displace the Son. The blind leading the blind, they search the scriptures for life rather than for Jesus, who is life; they seek forgiveness for their sins and a relationship to God through their churches, their works, and their worship, rather than through Jesus; they require all who desire to please God conform to them, rather than to Jesus; they do their works to be seen and rewarded by men, rather than by God and Jesus; and they love the praise of men more than the praise of God and themselves and their own kind more than Jesus and his sheep in other folds. All who follow [fall prey to] blind guides cannot serve two masters and must repent to avoid being saved as one escaping through the fire. Those who do not repent are in grave danger of falling prey to hirelings and wolves in sheep’s clothing: false apostles and prophets who for personal gain claim the Apostles’ Christ-given power and authority in order to add to and subtract from their witness, denying the truth about things that were, are, and are yet to come. All who submit to these hirelings and wolves [sin] must repent to avoid being erased from the book of life.

All who believing in his name receive Jesus are known to him and reveal they truly believe God. They are given the authority to become God’s children and the bride of His Son. Their souls are buried with Jesus in his death and made alive in him through his resurrection so it is no longer they who live but he who lives in them. In receiving forgiveness for their sins from Jesus alone, the One to whom God has given all authority in heaven and on earth, their bodies are cleansed by his blood so they can receive his Spirit and have life in his name - to know him and why he was born and came into the world. Moreover, by his Spirit, they know their names will remain in the book of life and their sins are forgiven, they abide in him and his love, loving all his sheep as he loves them, they see the kingdom of God; and they are sealed in him and assured they will not cease believing; are taught the truth that gives life and in that truth they worship the Father, conform to the Son, and repeat the Spirit’s witness bearing fruit that remains; are saved from fruitless lives to walk in good works God has prepared for them; are joined to

Rv7 his church, the earthly witness to his kingdom in heaven; and are one with him and each other in his broken body, revealing his oneness with the Father. When they die [fall asleep], their flesh returns to dust as their bodies in death await the resurrection to life.

– In the last days of the New Covenant, all the earth will hear the seven trumpets, but there is no repentance, for the trumpets are sounded to call mankind to account for decisions already made. Those who have not believed God will kill His two witnesses, Moses [the law] and Elijah [the Spirit] and worship the beast and receive his mark. Those who have truly believed God’s witness in creation but have not heard His witness in Jesus will hear and receive him. Those who have believed God’s witness in Jesus but have not received him are unprepared for his coming [lamps without oil] and will deny what they have believed [bury their talents], deny Jesus himself [not show love to the least of his brethren], and worship the beast and receive his mark [fall away]. Those who believing God’s witness in Jesus have received him will stand firm in the midst of suffering, even unto death, and refuse to worship the beast and receive his mark.

– At the last trumpet, when Jesus returns to Zion with the 144,000 taken up alive in the first century [the sixth seal], he will sit on his throne at the gate to his city in heavenly glory and all the nations will be gathered [harvested] to bow before him, who by his obedience unto death was given the book of life and authority to judge the living and the dead. The living not found in the Lamb’s book of life [goats] will remain outside the city in outer darkness where they join Satan and his beasts and are trampled in the great winepress - seven bowls - of God’s wrath. The living found in the Lamb’s book of life [sheep] are saved from God’s wrath in the kingdom of heaven where they join the great multitude taken up alive in the first century [also the sixth seal] and first century martyrs [the fifth seal], who upon hearing the last trumpet have been raised to life in the first resurrection. The 144,000 are left on earth and beheaded [martyred] for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus; yet are blessed to have a part in the first resurrection.

– At the last bowl of wrath, the kingdom will come to earth as it is in heaven and all its inhabitants are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb to drink of the fruit of the vine new with him in a new Jerusalem and receive their reward. The living inherit eternal life and the kingdom God has prepared for them from the beginning. They are blessed to multiply and fill a restored earth and womb under the reign of Jesus and eat of the tree of life in the new Jerusalem and never die. The resurrected martyrs inherit eternal life and enter the Kingdom of God coming to life born of the Spirit with immortal, imperishable, non-flesh [spiritual] bodies, over which the second death has no power. They are blessed to be adopted as sons of God and dressed in fine linen [righteous deeds of the saints] to be betrothed to Jesus and live with him in the place he has prepared for them in his Father’s house in the new Jerusalem, forever. Deemed worthy by the Apostles, who have been given authority to judge the twelve tribes of Israel, they are blessed to be priests of God and of Jesus and reign with Jesus in his Father’s kingdom for 1000 years.

By these things, the creation will behold the rightness and holiness of God in fulfilling His plan in His Son Jesus to rule all He has made and establish a personal relationship to man, the one He created able to know Him. But even then, not all receive the Son.

Rv7 For God’s kingdom on earth will end in a final rebellion led by Satan, after his release from the abyss, that fire from heaven will devour. Those living and believing in Jesus are saved from the fire in the new Jerusalem. When Jesus appears on a great white throne, their flesh and the earth and sky of which it is a part flee his presence, there being no place found for them, and they are joined to those betrothed to Jesus. Then the rest of the dead, great and small, from the sea and from death and Hades, are raised to stand before him. Books and another book, the Lamb’s book of life, are opened and the dead judged by what they have done as recorded in the books.

Those not found in the Lamb’s book of life are raised to judgment. Coming forth with bodies not clothed in the flesh of Jesus, and souls never made alive in him, they are cast into the lake of fire [Gehenna], the second death, for the eternal destruction of both body and soul – to never know God or His love.

Those found in the Lamb’s book of life are raised to life. Coming forth with immortal, imperishable, non-flesh [spiritual] bodies, over which the second death has no power, they are joined to those betrothed to Jesus in the new Jerusalem. Then, putting on new flesh taken from the glorified Son of Man [the One whose flesh did not see decay and of whom eyewitnesses proclaimed, “We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only-begotten of a father”] the betrothed are a new creation born of God, neither male nor female, from flesh not blood, to become His children and the bride of His Son. For as it was not good for the man to be alone in creation, so is it not good for the Son of Man to remain alone in the new creation. So, each in his own time was put into a deep sleep by God, who took flesh from their sides to make a bride suitable for them. Though the glorified flesh of the Son of Man did come by way of death and resurrection due to sin, this glorified flesh was always required, even had there been no sin, in order for man to have flesh suitable for the bride of the Son of God, who leaving his Father is united to his wife coming down out of heaven from God adorned as a bride made ready for her husband, the two becoming one flesh in a new heaven and a new earth where they abide in everlasting love, joy, and peace and have eternal life – knowing God and His love, without end…

The purpose of The Lamb’s Book of Life is to clarify the truth about Jesus Christ: his identity and authority, the reason he was born and came into the world, and the meaning of life in his name. “In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John the Apostle

The Lamb’s Book of Life is not intended to disparage any person, living or dead, or their beliefs. For God knows the heart of every person and how they respond to His Son, and that is what matters.

Please forgive the anonymity, but The Lamb’s Book of Life is about the Lamb, not the author. The Lamb must increase; all else must decrease.
