The Book of Life. We are beginning a new series, obviously called the Book of Life, the title of this video is, Intro & Parallels. And what we want to do, is show you the ‘concept’ of Parallelism. Parallelism, I don’t even know if that is a word, but basically how we can see things in the Book of Revelation, in the beginning of the Book and at the end of the Book, we compare them and line them up and it begins to paint a full picture of a certain concept, in this example, The Book of Life.
So, we’re going to learn about The Book of Life as an Intro in this video, by Parallels: Revelation chapter 1, with Revelation 22, which is the Last Book. So we’re basically taking Revelation 1, and the last Book of Revelation is Revelation 22, we are taking those and we’re looking at the Concepts of the Book of Revelation: the Imagery of the Throne, the Imagery of the Book, the Imagery of Certain Expressions, Those Written, Those Blessed, The Throne, finding those in Revelation 22 and 20, and thus also in Revelation chapter 1, allowing us to get Understanding and fill in the gaps of What the Prophecy is talking about.
Now, this channel {and LeelandJones.com} is all about the Book of Revelation, The Apocalypse, The Revealing!
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keeps those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
That’s Revelation 1:3, the very Beginning of the Book! That’s what this whole channel is about! AND, we don’t form conclusions based on the Apostate Babylon Church! The Babylon Church says, ‘Go to church, pray this prayer, cry, come to church, sing the songs, give your tithe, and your name is written in the Book of Life.’
Well, 95% of ‘those’ that taught that, have taken the Mark of the Beast! So, they can NOT be Trusted, NOR their Doctrines, ESPECIALLY Related to the Book of Life!
So, in this, we’re going to get into ONLY what the Scriptures say! That’s all that’s on the notes, is the Scriptures. We have to do Studies into Hebrew and into Greek, to do Word Studies to UNDERSTAND the Prophecy, it’s just a Requirement. It’s just totally necessary to Understand the things that we’ll get to in this series.
It’s very important in our Introduction here, that you understand there is a Procedural thing happening throughout the Book of Revelation, there is Judgment Seats! Judgment Seats, and whenever there’s ‘scenes’ around the Throne, there are Books, there are things being expressed.
So we felt it necessary to start this series, because we saw the Angel of the Covenant, he had the Tablet in his hand. Now when he had the Tablet in his hand, it’s also the Little Book. It’s a Little Book in proportion, because he’s holding it in one hand, but he has one foot on the earth, the other on the sea, and thus we conclude that he is high up in the sky, and he’s very tall, so that the Book is actually NOT a small Book to us, it’s gonna be very large, it’s going to be a big as a house! Because it’s in his hand, but he’s way up in the sky.
So, when we see him standing, or when we see him with this Tablet, it’s expressing the Book of Life, that’s the Little Book in his hand.
Now, the Procedures of the Throne are actually at the Beginning of Revelation 1. But we have another major scene in Revelation 5, where we see the Scroll or the Book in the right hand of Him that sat upon the Throne, and NO ONE was Worthy to Look upon the Book, to Look at the Scroll, to Read therein!
And John wept much, because no one was worthy to Look at the Book and to Open the Seal. And the 24 Elders said, Weep not John, for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah has OVERCOME, He has Prevailed to Open the Seals, to Look at the Book, and to Open the Seals therein!
So, ONLY the Lamb is really WORTHY to Know What the Book Says, and to See the Names Written! Many people will do many things to try to convince you they’re Saved, they’re on the Book of Life. They’ll extend more energy in trying to convince you, than to actually Repenting from their sins and standing right when the Judgment Day will come. They’ll do {and say} all kinds of things, “No, God won’t Judge! No! No! No!”
BUT, The Judgment Seat of Christ, happens throughout the whole Book! And the Judgments are continuing, and proceeding, and escalating, TO GET PEOPLE TO REPENT! And ‘That’s’ this Message, as well, ‘To REPENT!’ Do NOT Assume your name is on the Book of Life!!!
This Message is NOT about You, {nor} about me convincing you of your Eternity. I’m JUST Reading What the Book says, and felt it necessary {to remind you} as we get into this series. We have essentially 4 pages of notes. We have a 5th page which is going to illustrate some of the Symbolism of the Heavenly Scroll. And so we’ll have at least 4 parts to this series {Playlist link is at the bottom of this blog, Notes are at the top of this blog}.
{6:24 min mark} So, Book of Life, in this Intro as we said, we’re talking about the Throne, and we’re talking about how when the Throne Setting takes place, Books are Opened! And at times Names are Written or Name are Read, at various points and stages throughout the Book of Revelation.
And then we conclude in the Book of Revelation that all of those in New Jerusalem, have their Names in the Book of Life!
The other deep part of this series, is that there’s actually 3 Scrolls! There’s 3 separate parts to the Book of Life, which we’re not getting into in this video, we’re just getting into the Parallelisms, but we will be able to explain to you there is a distinction of the 4 people groups, as we’ve taught many times in the channel: Manchild, 144,000, Great Multitude, also expressed through the Book of Life.
Now, in this one, we’re going to take the Parallels, and we’re going to see how Revelation chapter 1 is going to show us the Book of Life.
Here you can see our notes: Book of Life – Intro to Parallels {on the right}. And as we go through this series, we want to show you how the Throne and the Book of Life is also expressed in other places {on left side of the picture above}. So we’re principally going to focus today on Revelation 1, but we also want you to be aware of this because you do see the Throne being expressed through Revelation chapters 4, 5.
And in {Revelation} chapter 6, we see the Throne of the Lamb, which is in the Center {round back chair}. And John says he sees 4 Angels standing {Angels are in yellow}, which are the are the 4 Cherubim, holding the 4 Winds. The 4 Winds are represented by the 4 Wheels {4 circles}. So this is the Ezekiel Throne of Ezekiel chapter 1, and in the 6th Seal all of this is happening, which begins in verse 12, with the Heavenly Scroll being opened!
John saw Heaven being removed as a Scroll, thus the Scroll in the Heavens that he sees, is the Book of Life! And then what we see is the Name’s Written, according to the 12 Tribes of the Children of Israel, ordered by their positions, reflecting the Cardinal positions of: Lion, Ox, Man, Eagle, and the 12 Tribes around the Throne. So this Order, what we’re describing here is Revelation chapter 6 and chapter 7.
And it also happens, of course in Revelation 14, where you have the Lamb on the Throne, and around Him, 144,000. So this is how you see the Principle Parallelisms of Revelation chapter 6 and 7, the Throne of the Lamb, the 4 Cherubim, the 4 Winds, in Revelation chapter 6 and 7, Aligning with the 144,000 in chapter 7, and the 144,000 in chapter 14.
That’s just planting a Seed, we’ll get more into that in the future, but we’re just showing you how that is the Heavenly Scroll. Now in this one {video}, we’re talking about the Book of Life as an Intro, and then the Parallels in Revelation chapter 1, and 20, and 22.
Our first Parallel we’re going to look at is Makarios. In the Greek, Makarios means Blessed. And what this is, the Book has a Start & End that shows similar descriptions that paint a full picture of what each Passage is talking about.
So at the Beginning of the Book, Revelation 1; and at the End; Revelation 20 and 22, we have this Parallel. The first one that we are going to look at is this word: Blessed. Of course in English it’s Blessed, and in Greek it’s Makarios. It’s the Blessed kings and priests that will Reign 1,000 Years!
{Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that reads {anaginṓskō}, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keeps those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.}
So, they seem to be corresponding with the Book of Life Parallels of Revelation chapter 1. And, if we read Revelation 1, we can see this verse 3, “Blessed is he that anaginṓskō” ‘Knows again!’ Not just Reads, but ‘Knows again the Prophecy, and keeps what’s written.’
{Revelation 1:6 And has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am the Alpha {Aleph} and Omega {Tav}, the first and the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.}
‘And He has made us kings and priests.’ Then, ‘Alpha and Omega says, What you see write in a Book’, ‘biblion’ in the Greek, or Scroll. So, what we’re concluding is, that because we have the ‘Blessed’ right here {in Revelation 1:3}, we have the Prophecy {in Revelation 1:3}, we have the kings and priests in the Book {Revelation 1:6}, that this is also expressing the Beginnings of the Book of Life in Revelation chapter 1.
{Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.}
We find this Paralleled with Revelation chapter 20, when we see ‘Blessed’ once again. The ‘Blessed Priesthood’ Parallels with those that Rule and Reign with Christ in the Millennium. In Revelation 20 verse 6 it says, ‘Blessed’ same word: Makarios, ‘and holy is he that has part of the first resurrection: they shall be priests, and reign with Christ a thousand years.’
So once again, we see the alignment corresponding of the kings and priests, that reign with Christ, and the ‘Blessed’, the Blessed Priesthood we could say. And then a few verses later, we see the Book of Life in Revelation 20, verse 11, then the Book of Life is opened at the White Throne.
{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.}
‘And I saw a Great White Throne.’ Now we’re emphasizing the word ‘Throne’ here, because the Books are OPENED in the Throne Settings, The Judgment Set, The Books are Opened! ‘I saw a Great White Throne, and the Books were Opened, and Another was Opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were Judged out of those things Written in the Books, according to their WORKS.’
So, Yes, many Christians ‘think’ that they won’t be Judged according to their Works, but that works ‘against’ what Scripture says! Anyways, there we can see something is very important, that is that the ‘Blessed’, the kings and priests, and the Book, is showing us that the Book of Life is being expressed in Revelation 1, just as it is in Revelation 20.
And again, we see the Books being Opened, ‘Herein’ is this Principal, of the Books being Open before the Throne for the Judgment and the proceedings to take place. As we’ve said, this is going to happen throughout the Book of Revelation, this is just where it begins.
{Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;}
And John testifies from the Throne. Revelation 1:4 ‘To the 7 Ekklésia {Churches}, from Him being, Who was, and Who is Coming.’
{14:10 min mark, Leeland speaks the above verse in Greek} ὁ {Him} ὢν {being} καὶ {and} ὁ {who} ἦν {was} καὶ {and} ὁ {who} ἐρχόμενος {is coming}. So what I just read is, ‘He who is, and He who was, and He who is coming; and from the 7 Spirits before the Throne.’
So John is Testifying before the Throne, that the Proceedings of the Book of Revelation are Beginning and that the Book being described, that we saw earlier, is in fact the Book of Life! Because once again, we see the Throne expressed, and he is Testifying from the Throne!
{Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that reads {anaginṓskō}, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.}
Then verse 3 says, The Blessed ones that are associated with the Book written. ‘Blessed are those that reads the words of the Prophecy, and Keep having BEEN Written.’
So, Names are ALREADY Written!
Thus, the Book of Life having Instructions and Names! And it is opened in the ‘Throne Judgment Times’ throughout the Book of Revelation! So that’s what’s happening here, is that, YES, there’s Names already ‘Written from the Foundation of the World’, as we’ll get into later.
{Revelation 1:11} ‘What you see write,’ {write} in Greek is graphó, ‘in a Book.’ So, John is to WRITE the Prophecy, and the Prophecy has already been written!
{Revelation 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;}
Verse 19, ‘Write on’ Γράψον {graphó} those things which you have SEEN!
Now, another area of ‘controversy’ in the Babylonian Church, is that Your Name can NOT be Removed from the Book of Life, but that’s NOT True! We can see another Parallel between ‘those’ that are Blotted Out from the Book, and ‘those’ that will NOT ‘Take Part’, and their ‘Part’ is taken FROM the Book of Life, by applying the same Principal of looking at the Beginning of the Book, and the End of the Book.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcomes, 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, in the Beginning of the Book, remember he was testifying to the Ekklesia {Church}. And then the Ekklesia BEGAN in Revelation 2 and 3. And to the Church at Sardis, in Revelation 3, is SEEN in ‘another’ Beginning and Ending Parallel, between Revelation chapter 3 and 22, which we can see.
‘He that Overcomes, I will NOT Blot Out his Name from the Book of Life, but I will Testify his Name before My Father and the Angels.’ So this is the first time the expression ‘biblos’ {Book} and ‘zóé’ {Life} is used, and we can see ‘those’ who were Blotted Out, or ‘Taken Apart’ from the Book of Life.
{Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; 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.}
And this Parallels with Revelation 22, which also gives us Warning! “I Jesus has sent My Angel.’ Remember He said, I will confess his name before My Father and His Angels? {Revelation 22:16} ‘I Jesus have sent My Angel to Testify to the Ekklesia.’ {verse 18} ‘For I Testify to Every man that Hears the Words of this Prophecy of this Book.’
So this is Paralleling the Angel, Christ testifying before the Angel. {verse 19} ‘If any man Take Away from the Words of this Prophecy, God shall Take Away his Part of Those of the Book of Life.’ So, THIS is Why we take Prophecy very seriously, we don’t just say what we think, or form opinions, we don’t want to make a mistake, so IF we do, Names can be Taken FROM the Book of Life!
So, people don’t take the Book of Revelation seriously, and they’re going to have Rude Awakenings when the Judgment is Set and they have Taken Things FROM the Prophecy, and their Names are Taken FROM the Book of Life. That’s one of the reasons that it can be Blotted Out!
Of course, they can be Blotted Out by TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST!
{verse 19} ‘If any man Take Away from the Words of this Prophecy, God shall Take Away his Part in the Book of Life, and OUT of the Holy City of Those having been Written.’
So we conclude that it’s NOT ‘THE’ having been Written, but ‘Those’! So there’s People already been Written in this Book. So they’ll be ‘Taken Out’ of the Book of Life, they’ll be ‘Taken Out’ of the Holy City, New Jerusalem, and they will NOT Partake with Those that are Written in the Book!
There you can see the Parallels in the Book of Revelation, with chapter 1; showing us the Book of Life, showing us the Blessed Priesthood associated with Those that are Written in the Book; The Throne, whenever the Throne setting takes place, we have the Books being Opened, and Those being REMOVED From the Book, though their Names are Written from the Foundation of the World, we can see Reasons and Indications WHY Names are Removed! So that is Possible! Yes, the Book of Revelation makes that Clear in 2 places, as multiple witnesses, as we saw.
So, we are getting into this series, this is just an Intro/Parallels showing you things that are Not obvious, that, through Parallel ‘comparison’, Beginning of the Book/Ending of the Book, we can see this. And, we will get into more of the series, as we go, we have other things where we’ll get deeper into the Studies. I am looking at Isaiah 4, 34, and you can get ahead in the series, as we post the Notes in a PDF file {Notes at the top of this blog}.
Thanks for watching! I do hope that you enjoy this series, this is a continuation of the Angel of the Covenant, when he has the tablet in his right hand. And as we say, we conclude each message: A Voice came from the Throne, saying, Praise our God, all you His servants that fear His Name, both small and great. ~ Leeland Jones
