I hope you have seen Part 1 of this series of messages on The Book of Life. In this one we’re just going to get into some general characteristics from The Book of Revelation on The Book of Life. Basically as we continue, we’re going through various details and finding where the Book of Life is described in other places. Here, we’re going to go throughout the Book of Revelation. We’re going to go through the Book of Isaiah, and a little bit in Ezekiel for just a few references.
So each video will have certain references like this where we will do word studies and comparisons and kind of fill in some of the gaps. We’re not really coming up with our own ideas. We are just reading with the Scriptures say about the Book of Life. And, sometimes when you do, you end up with more questions than answers, because it kind of brings to light things that we may not have seen before or thought about.
So, as we mentioned in the first video, The Book of Life is part of the Heavenly proceedings whenever there’s jurisdiction of judgment and things in the Heavenly Throne that takes place, there are books that are open. We could see in Revelation Chapter 20 that when the Books were opened, and the dead were judged of those things that were written in the Books, there is another Book called the Book of Life.
And in Daniel chapter 7, it talks about the Ancient of Days did sit, and the Judgment was set and the Books were opened. And there were standing a Great Multitude of people, and a great myriad of Angels.
{Daniel 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.}
That’s very similar to Revelation 5, which is also when the Scroll was in the right hand of Him that sat upon the Throne, and no one was worthy to look at the Scroll or look at the Book, and John wept. ‘One of the 24 Elders said, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, He has prevailed and He has Overcome to look at the Book and to open the Seals.’ So, then the Seals become OPEN.
{Revelation 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.}
When the Seals is open, one of the Seals says, ‘Heaven is removed as a Scroll’, and that is thus representing a Heavenly Scroll, also the Book of Life. In Zechariah chapter 5:1 it talks about Zachariah sees the Scroll.
{Zechariah 5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying scroll.}
That is why in the thumbnail of the video you can see that I am putting a Book, like suspended in the sky, because that’s ‘Heaven is removed as a Scroll.’ That is also representative of the Book of Life.
So, here we see the Judgment Seat of Christ being opened up throughout the Book of Revelation. In Part 1 we saw how that’s actually beginning in chapter 1, The Book of Life and John beginning to write the Book. When he’s beginning to write the Book, he writes the Words of Prophecy.
There are also People ‘written’ in that Book. That’s why we’re saying, Judgment Seat of Christ. There’s the Throne and the Books are open. Certain things happen almost every time. Every Throne setting there is worship, there is Books open, procedural things are happening, Seals being released. And Judgment.
So we have the FINAL Judgment, leading into the Millennium when the Books are opened, in Revelation 20:11-12. John said, ‘I saw the dead small and great, stand before Him and the Books were open. And another Book was open called The Book of Life. And I saw a Great White Throne, and Him that sat upon it.’
{Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.}
So again, the principal of the Throne and the Books being open, and THEN we pass into the next ‘dispensation of time’ called, The Millennium! The Warning of this is to the Ekklesia! So the Book of Life is to the Ekklesia. It is important that we ‘understand’ that, and that’s just what it says. The Only ones in New Jerusalem at the End of the Book, in Revelation chapter 21 and 22, in New Jerusalem, are, their Names have been ‘written’ in the Book of Life.
But the Warnings and Admonitions BEGIN in the ‘beginning’ of the Book of Revelation, to the 7 Ekklesia in the 7 Churches, in Revelation chapters 2 and 3. And to the Overcomers, they are clothed in white raiment, and Christ is speaking their Names FROM the Book, from Book of Life. He says in Revelation 3:5, ‘He that Overcomes, will be clothed in white raiment, and I will NOT blot out his Name out of the Book of Life, but will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.’
{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.}
So when He is confessing the Name of the person, He is confessing that Name from the standpoint of the Book of Life. So some people, that are being Warned in the very beginning, their Name ‘will be’ blotted out: from the hour of temptation, and some will take the Mark of the Beast. We also learned in Part 1 that they spoke, that they added Words to the Prophecy, and they took Words away from the Prophecy, so their Name was ‘taken away’ from the Book of Life.
With our notes, these notes are going to be on the website so pleas go to leelandjones.com and go to Course 5 on the Millennium, and this is where our Book of Life showcase on Vimeo, which is like a playlist. You will see Millennium, you will see the Temple things listed there, and then you will see a playlist called The Book of Life. There is a PDF file called the Book of Life(pdf). That is all the notes we had in Part 1, and the notes here in Part 2, and we have continuation of the series.
So here you see Christ ‘confessing’ that Name, ‘reading’ that Name FROM the Book of Life, to those that Overcome. And then others that didn’t Overcome, they were blotted out! There we see the Book of Life in Revelation Chapter 3.
Now, those ‘written’ in the Book of Life, does relate to Prophecy, does relate to the ‘understanding’ of End Times. This is one of those subjects that might get your attention, and it’s a bit sobering for sure if we think about it, but this is just what it says. We’re just reading what it says, and we are looking at the examples of what it says in the Book of Revelation of where the Book of Life is mentioned.
In my note here it says, ‘Understand the Prophecy of the Son of Perdition, so that they would recognize the Antichrist, what we call the Antichrist, the Son of Perdition.’ This is what we see in Revelation Chapter 13: verse 8, it says, ‘All that dwell upon the Earth shall worship him,’ – the Beast. They’ll worship the Beast.
{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.}
They’ll worship the Beast – All of them that worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb from the Foundations of the World. The only ones NOT worshiping the Beast, are those that RECOGNIZED ‘who’ the Beast ‘is’!
So yes! All those that dwell upon the earth will NOT really ‘recognize’ the Antichrist when he comes. Their names are NOT ‘written’ on the Book of Life. But, those that DO ‘recognize’ him, they WORSHIP the Lamb, and they also ‘recognize’ the Antichrist. And this is a repeated statement.
Remember how we showed you before, how there are things in the Beginning of the Book, and there are things at the Beginning at the End, that show us ‘certain’ Principals. So, this Principal becomes ‘repeated’ of the Book of Life, in association with the Beasts. There we saw the Beast coming from the sea. Lion, Leopard, Bear – terrible Beast. That’s Revelation chapter 13.
So, when that chapter is talking about the Beast, and it does talk about the Mark of the Beast, and everyone talks about, ‘The Beast! The Beast! The Beast!’
But, what they fail to realize is, it’s also talking about ‘those’ WRITTEN on the Book of Life. So, those ‘written’ on the Book of Life, will identify what is ‘identify’ what is happening in the Prophecy, they’ll ‘identify’ the fact that they are in the Time of these things transpiring!
So just like we saw in Revelation 13:8, ‘all that dwell on the earth shall worship the Beast, whose names are NOT written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World.’ Revelation 17, is the scarlet colored Beast.
{Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
In Revelation 17, we have a repeat of this statement, mirroring the statement, the Beast goes into Perdition, and those ‘wonder’ whose Names are NOT ‘written’ in the Book of Life from the Foundations of the World. So, everyone wonders!
Everyone is wondering, worshiping the Beast, is ‘confused’! This is quite sobering, because obviously the Antichrist has come, ‘has been Revealed’, and the World still doesn’t know!
{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.}
Now we saw before, how the 7 Ekklesia, the 7 Churches of Revelation chapter 2 and 3, THAT’S the Ekklesia that the Book of Life is being issued to. The Book of Life is also New Jerusalem, and New Jerusalem has 12 Gates of the Names of the Children of Israel.
So, the Book of Life is also Israel, and is also Ordered by the 12 Tribes. But, it’s these ‘declarations’ in these ‘words’ are in the Book of Life to the Ekklesia, we see this in Isaiah chapter 4. So YES, we see the Book of Life here in Isaiah 4, and it says that there are 7 Women take hold of One Man, saying, Let us be called by your name.
{Isaiah 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.}
That’s Isaiah chapter 4:1, 7 Women, thus ‘representing’ the 7 Ekklesia, 7 Churches of Revelation. Then in verse 3, ‘those left in Zion, remaining in Jerusalem.’ Left from what? Remember Christ said, those you be blotted out.
{Isaiah 4:3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem}
Those that are left in Zion, meaning Jerusalem, ‘shall be called Holy, Everyone written of the Living.’ Thus we conclude, Living in the Book, Written in the Book of the Living in Jerusalem. So, that’s the Book of Life here in Isaiah chapter 4, verse 3. And, we see the association with the 7 Churches from verse 1.
Once we go back to Revelation, we get back to the Book, we also conclude that those that have the Seal of God, their Names are also ‘written’ in the Book of Life. ‘They will see His face, and His Name will be on their foreheads.’ That’s Revelation 22:4
{Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.]
And just a few verses earlier from that, they enter New Jerusalem. Only those that are ‘written’ in the Lambs Book of Life enter the City. Then, it talks about His Name on their forehead. Thus, the connection between the Book of Life and the Seal.
Revelation 22:19, as we mentioned in Part 1, ‘If anyone ‘takes away’ from the words of the Book of this Prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree.’ And then some manuscripts, instead of saying, ‘Tree of Life’, they say, ‘The Book of Life’.
{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 {tree of life}, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.}
‘And the Holy City,’ which is described in this Book, ‘In the Holy City’, or ‘Those in the Holy City.’ So that goes back, as we showed you before, it goes back to Names being ‘blotted out’, in Revelation chapter 3, verse 5.
{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.}
There is a WARNING in Ezekiel chapter 13, about the Book of Life and the Prophets. ‘The Prophets see vanity and divine lies. They shall not be in the Assembly of My people. Neither shall they be written in the writing in the registry.’
{Ezekiel 13:9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.}
The Book of Life represents a ‘registry’ of Names! For example: when the Children of Israel were scattered into Babylon. When they were scattered in Babylon, and they began to come back to the land, they had to ‘register’, they had to tell who the name of their family was, to Ezra, to Nehemiah, to Joshua, to Zerubbabel, who are part of the Diaspora, bringing back to the land. The people had to show their Names! They had to show the History of their Genealogy, to prove their Name goes back to a certain family order. This presented an issue, some people couldn’t make it because they couldn’t prove it.
That’s at the Principal of what Ezekiel is ‘warning’ Prophets. ‘The Prophets shall see vanity and divine lies. They shall not be written in the Assembly of My people, neither shall be written in the register of the House of Israel, neither answer the land of Israel.’
So, the register, the Registry, this is talking about leading into the Millennium of The Book of Life. Warnings, in Ezekiel chapter 13, against the Prophets. They are registered in the Book of the House of Israel, in the Registry.
So this similar thing, the Children of Israel had to do, in returning from Babylon. We also want to make a mention here of Philippians Chapter 4, because Apostle Paul uses the ‘expression’ of the Book of Life. And those that are written in the Book of Life are laborers in the gospel. Philippians 1, verse 1, ‘My crown and joy, Euodias, Syntyche, Clement, and Women ‘labored in the gospel’ whose Names are ‘written’ in the Book of Life.
{Philippians 4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life.}
Here are our notes for Part 2 of the Book of Life. We began with Daniel chapter 7, verse 10. ‘The judgement was set and the Books were Opened.’ Thus, we conclude that when the Books were open, in Daniel, ‘the Ancient of Days did sit,’ it’s representative of the Bema Seat, the Judgment Seat of Christ. Which you can see in, 2nd Corinthians 5:10, Romans 14:10, and the White Throne, in Revelation 20.
{Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.}
Revelation 20:12 ‘I saw dead, small and great stand before Him; and the Books were Opened: and Another Book, The Book of Life.’ And, ‘I saw the Great White Throne.’ So again, the Throne related to the Books being opened.
So, the Judgment is Set, and the Books are Opened! We can see the Books opened, in the 7 Ekklesia, into the Church at Sardis, to the Overcomers, they wear white raiment, and Christ speaks their Name from the Book of Life.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcomes, will be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before the angels.
So, the ‘confessing’ of the Name, is the speaking of the Name from the Book, at the ‘various times’. This is going to happen ‘many times’, as the Books will be opened throughout the Book of Revelation, which we’ll get into as we continue.
- Those on the Book of Life, they ‘understand’ the Prophecy. They ‘understand’ the Prophecy of the Beast, and of the Antichrist!
- ‘And all those that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,’ that is the Beast, ‘whose names are NOT written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World.’
- Everyone worships the Beast, except for those that have their Names ‘written’ in the Book of Life!
So of course we should recognize who the Antichrist actually is, so as to NOT fall victim of the Traps. So, the Beast goes into Perdition. This is the scarlet colored Beast of Revelation 17, and those whose Names are NOT ‘written’ in the Book of Life. So again, they Wonder! Those WONDER whose Names are NOT ‘written’. That’s the scarlet colored Beast.
And we have the Beast coming from the sea, in Revelation 13. But, we have the Book of Life mentioned twice. Remember how we showed you the Parallelisms in Part 1? Then it’s the 7 Ekklesia. So, the Lambs Book of Life is to the 7 Ekklesia, it is to both, Israel 12 Tribes & to the 7 Ekklesia. So Scripturally, those are the same thing!
{Isaiah 4 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. 2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. 3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:}
Lambs Book of Life – to 7 Ekklesia, the 7 Women ‘represent’ the 7 Churches, or Ekklesia, ‘take hold of one man, saying, let us be called by your name.’ Verse 3, ‘Those left in Zion, remaining in Jerusalem shall be called Holy, everyone written in the Book of the Living in Jerusalem.’ Zion: Jerusalem is Mount Zion where the Lamb will reign!
And, they have the Seal of God – Revelation 22:4 ‘His name is written on their foreheads.’ ‘And they enter New Jerusalem,’ Revelation 21:7.
{Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.}
Revelation 21:27 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.}
So that’s obviously, Isaiah 4, it’s talking about New Jerusalem, and ‘Only those written in the Lambs Book of Life will enter into the City.’
{Isaiah 4:3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem.}
Now, how can one be ‘taken from’ the Book? ‘Take away’ from the Words of the Prophecy, and you’ll be ‘taken from’ the Book of Life,’ Revelation 22:19. ‘If any man ‘take away’ from the Words of the Prophecy, God will ‘take away’ his share in the Tree’, and some manuscripts read, ‘Book of Life’. ‘and in the Holy City, which are described in this Book.’
{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.
Ezekiel 13:9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.}
Then in Ezekiel 13:9, ‘Prophets see vanity and divine lies: they shall NOT be in the Assembly of My people, nor shall they be written in the writing, or registry, in the Book of The House of Israel.’ So, the Lambs Book of Life is the House of Israel & the Lambs Book of Life is Mount Zion, it is New Jerusalem & it is the Ekklesia. ‘Neither shall they be written in the writing of the registry of the House of Israel, neither enter the Land of Israel.’
And then, of course we see the Book of Life, to the labors in Christ, in Philippians 4:1 ‘Euodias, and Clement, and the Women labored in the Gospel, whose Names are written in The Book of Life.’
{Philippians 4 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life.}
So once again, we can see some interesting details about the Book of Life, that we might not have thought of before. You might NOT have thought of The Book of Life as being, ‘Those that can Identify Prophecy.’ That’s why we ‘teach’ so much of what the Bible says, and not go by, ‘What people think, or their opinions.’
Because you can see that if we speak the wrong thing, like the Prophets, that see vanity and divine lies, they are NOT in the Book of Life!
And if they speak things and take away from the Book, their Names are ‘taken away’ from the Book of Life. Every single one of our words are registered! They’re written down and they are recorded! Every single one of them! So, if you speak ignorant, and things about the Book of Revelation, REPENT, and go back over that! If you post videos of nonsense, and things that you ‘think’ that were wrong.
That’s why we are just very cautious about what we say, or what we do. We say, ‘We’re ‘watching’ for certain things.’ We look at enough supporting evidence of saying, ‘OK, if this is the Time, the Time is at hand.’ And that’s why, because speaking Prophecy is an Eternal process, an Eternal decision.
That’s why, ‘Woe, to all the teachers.’ You all must be perfectly accurate. That’s why everything you see is the Bible. I just read the Bible to you. That’s all I read. It’s just written down in a way that’s taking the Book of Life from different sources, and combining it together in ways that we may not have seen before.
But, Yes, that’s why we must be clear: Identify things in the Prophecy, things that relate to the Beast, Revelation 13, Revelation 17, because Those ‘written’ on the Book of Life, they are ‘supposed to’ Identify when these things happen, so as to prepare for Christ when He comes in the Clouds. We know that the Prophecies at hand.
So, we’ll have the notes as we said. The notes will be on the website. Maybe we’ll put a link in the description field of the video to go to: Course 5 or Millennium and then you scroll down and you get the PDF file.
So, thanks for watching, and stay tuned because we do have other videos within the playlist. This is going be like Part 1. We have Part 1 which is going to be the first video. This will be the second one, but there are other ones in there about the Scroll of Memorial.
And there are other ones that talk about Job 31 verse 35, which connects the Seal of God with those written in the Book of Life, which we don’t have a whole lot of time here, because we already covered that in another video. So be sure to check out those other videos. I think there’s only like three. It’s a new playlist. The playlist is not on YouTube. It’s on the new format at the website.
So, thanks for watching. And as we say, ‘A voice came from the Throne saying, “Praise our God, all you servants that fear His name, both small and great.’ ~ Leeland Jones
