New to reading the bible. Anyone understand revelations? When is your name put in the Book of Life?

Answer 1

Yes well not every prophecy is in Revelations. First the Rapture shall occur and the true followers of Jesus shall meet in heaven too receive their crowns for their Christian services. The Antichrist aka abomination that makes desolation. The 7 year tribulation shall commence once Israel signs a peace treaty for 7 years. Once that happens the judgments shall commence. The first is the seven seals of the scroll opened by Jesus. By order of the treaty of the Antichrist the Jews are now allowed to build their Temple. During this time because God has such bountiful grace and mercy he dispatched 144,000 Jewish evangelicals out of the 12 tribes of Israel 12,000 each Tribe to proclaim the gospel AND MANY shall be saved. God shall also dispatch the 2 witnesses to preach their testimony for 1,260 or 3 ½ years, these witnesses are indestructible during this time they will command fire to come from the sky as well as shut the sky to inhibit rain from falling and execute as many plagues and torments as often as they wish. Some speculate that it shall be Moses and Elijah, we know it shall be Elijah as written in Malachi 4:5. Then the seven trumpets of Judgment shall commence which are worse than the 7 seal of the scroll. During this time while Israel is in their false sense of Security Rogue nations that harbor hatred towards them shall do a sneak attack on them this is prophesied in Ezekiel Chapter 38 and 39 know as the Prophecy Against Gog. It is when Russia, Ethiopia, Libya, Iran, Turkey and other nations try to wipe Israel of the map but to no avail for God obliterates them in his wrath and hot anger. During the first half of tribulations the false world religion controls everything even the Beast of the Sea. Also some of the Jews heeding the warning of the Jewish Evangelicals shall be suspicious and disillusioned by the antichrist (world Leader) and flee to the ancient Ruins of Petra/Bozrah there they shall be supernaturally protected by God. While the raptured followers of Jesus are given their crown they are pestered by the Devil accusing them they are not worthy to be saved but his accusation (Satan) are in Vain. God having enough of his dribble and comments from the peanut gallery expels Satan out of the atmospheric heaven. When the midpoint of the tribulation comes about the antichrist shall slay the two witnesses and the whole world is so morally bankrupt that they shall rejoice over their death and even give gifts to each other. After 3 ½ days they shall come back to life and a voice from heaven shall say “come” and a cloud ascend them both to heaven while their enemies look below a tenth of Jerusalem is destroyed by an earthquake and 7,000 people are killed via earthquake worldwide. Then the antichrist shall sit himself on the throne and proclaim himself to be “god” and demand worship. The beast out of the Earth (False Prophet) shall make sure everyone accepts the mark of the beast failure to accept it means you cannot buy or sell and you shall be beheaded. This will separate the true Christians from the pseudo-Christians. During this time God in his mercy shall do something that has never been done before!!! He shall dispatch 3 powerful angels in the guise of humans to preach the everlasting gospel. They will adamantly stress and warn that those who accept the mark of the beast shall partake the winepress of God’s wrath. This means accepting the mark of the beast is THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!!!!!!! Once the Antichrist sit on the throne and declares himself as “god” then the wrath of Sovereign Lord will reach its zenith and his boiling anger shall commence the 7 bowls of his wrath which is worse than the seven seals of the scroll and the 7 trumpets of Judgment. Babylon shall be rebuilt and all commerce shall be transferred to there as in total opposition of God. Babylon is finally destroyed. The heavens rejoiced at its destruction. Jerusalem shall be taken over and then the nations meet at the valley of Megiddo or known as Armageddon. After Israel recognized its national sin the rejection of Jesus they pray for 2 days and the Lord hears their prayers and Jesus comes back by landing his feat on the Mount of Olives Zechariah 14:3-5. Jesus shall defeat the antichrist and his forces by uttering the word of God and for 1,600 stadias or 2,000 miles up to the horses’ bridle the whole valley of Megiddo shall be a sea of blood thus written in the book of Isaiah 63:1-6. Everyone but the antichrist and false prophet have been turned into fodder by Jesus. The antichrist and false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire tormented day and night. Blessed are those who make it to 1,335 days what does that mean Daniel 12:11-12. It means that a saved Christian or Jew that accepted Jesus as their savior are invited to the millennium. From the period of the abomination that makes (midpoint of the tribulations) desolation of the temple to the end of that shall be 1,260 days plus 45 days to purify the Earth from the grievous damage and filth and plus 75 days to judge the nations treatment towards Israel the parting of the sheep and goats the sheep are allowed to enter the millennial kingdom governed by Jesus that equals 1,335 days!! This is the kingdom that was in Daniel 2:44-45 that is the millennial kingdom!! At this time Satan shall be bound in the bottomless pit so he may not tempt for the next 1,000 years. Creation shall be radically changed as the Adamic curse shall be partially lifted there shall be new healthy bodies at that time disease is no more. People can live for 1,000 years!! Nature shall be transformed and wild animals shall be tamed and we all shall be pretty much vegetarians as written in the book Isaiah 65:17-25 However great that is people are still going to rebel as written in Isaiah 65:20 !! Even under utopia conditions via Jesus people shall go against Jesus. Satan shall be released and the rebels will be destroyed by fire from God. Those who are at the Great white Throne are not saved and are not written in The book of life they are thrown in the lake of fire forever and the ones who are saved are in bliss with God and Jesus in the new heaven and Earth. Praise the Lord Jesus!!

Your name is written in the book of life once you do this:

Romans 10

8But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Answer 2

The book of Revelation is suppose to be a prophecy of the last battle on earth between the forces of good and the forces of evil and the events that will lead up to it. Your name was put into the "Book of Life" the moment you were born. Under your name goes all of the deeds and misdeeds and thoughts over your entire life span and according to the Bible you will be judged on these things on the "Day of Judgement" that comes after the final war and if you are jugded unworthy you will not be allow into Heaven
Hope this helps to explain.

Answer 3

I have a cursory understanding of this book.

Rev 17:8 The beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and goes to perdition. And those dwelling on the earth will marvel, the ones whose names have not been written on the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, seeing the beast, that it was a thing, and is not, yet now is.

From this verse we see those who are on the earth at this time, were not written in the book of life, so this indicates not everyone's name is there. It also indicates that the names there were written from the foundation of the world, so we would tend to think from the text that it was not dependent on our actions are our "acceptance" of Christ. It is God's choosing and electing those to salvation. Their names were written in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the earth.

Rev 20:15 And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Another indication that all people are not in this book, just believers.

Answer 4

Revelation is a very strange book. It was a letter from someone who was in prison. I totally forgot who, but I know it was a very God-Loving man. It was meant to show how the Catholics would take over or something like that. Some things have already happened, but theres still a lot to go. Our days are supposedly the last days, so we get a large portion of that book. We just have to interpret it right...

Your name is put in the book of life when you repent, and all that good stuff

Answer 5

I am an Evangelical Christian and have studied the Bible for years. The thing to know about the Book of Revelations is that it is a fantastic book...that is, it is a work of symbolism and metaphor...like a fantastic voyage film..some parts of it are dream sequences, almost like in a movie.
It is not to be taken literally, but figuratively, like when Jesus Christ spoke in parables.
The Book of Life is the book of those who have everlasting life in paradise.
Your name is put there when you are saved....saved by the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

Revelations really is a difficult book to understand, but it is also very exciting to read.
Your name gets put in the Lamb's Book of Life the moment you accept Christ as your personal saviour.

Answer 7

Tony S is right about it being a book of symbolism and metaphors and shouldn't be taken literally, which it seems most people do. It can be confusing and I would suggest concentrating on other books in the New Testament to learn about salvation and Christian living and when you get an understanding of that, study Revelation.

In Revelation 20:12-15, the reference to Books is in reference to all works done by everyone but the Book of Life is in reference to those who are saved. In order to be saved, one must follow all the steps of salvation which are:

Hear – Romans 10:17
Believe – John 8:24
Repent – Acts 17:30
Confess – Romans 10:10
Be Baptized – Acts 22:16

Remain Faithful -- Rev 2:10

One can fall from grace because Rev 3:5 talks about blotting out names from the Book of Life so if a person is "always saved", why would it mention blotting out names?

Rev 3:5 ~ 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Heb 6:6 tells us that if someone falls away, we are to work with them and try to get them to repent.

And a major verse says in Galatian 5:4 ~ You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

Why would it speak about being estranged from Christ and say we have fallen from grace if it isn't possible for it to happen?

There isn't anything in the Bible that speaks of the rapture because that is a manmade thing so beware and stay clear of those teachings. Be very careful about reading books written by man because too many have added or taken away from God's word with their personal opinions.

You might want to sign up for some free Bible studies at the below link to help you in your understanding and if you have any questions, you can ask the person who studies with you for guidance.

God be with you in your studies and I pray you will use the Bible as your guide rather than books written by men which can lead you from the truth as God set forth.

Answer 8

I have read the book of Revelation a couple times. I know that it speaks about our names being written in the Lambs Book of Life, but as for when it is actually written in there I'm not sure.

That would take some reading, but I'm initially going to say when we trust Jesus Christ as our Saviour.

Answer 9

The books is called "Revelation" (not plural) because it is one single "revelation" from start to end - the revelation of who Jesus is.

There are several vary different interpretations of Revelation, but the most common today is that it refers to events that will happen in the last seven years of history.

As the names in the Book of Life are the names of those who will go to heaven, it is often taught that they are added at the time of your salvation. Another idea is that all names are entered at birth, but those who are never saved are "blotted out", which is which Jesus promises not to blot the names out of the book of those who "overcome". (Rev 3:5)

Answer 10

Of each and all the books on the Bible (in all possibility into the single thousand's) that i've got examine the only ones that extremely stand out are Larkin's Dispensations, Daniel and Anderson's the arrival Prince and his Daniel contained in the Lion's Den. i will inform you that the two of those 2 authors are nicely well worth the examine and study. observe: With Anderson you will would desire to have a dictionary interior reach. a number of Bullinger's stuff isn't undesirable the two - his Numerology e book is exceptionally solid and supply you a solid foundation for what's accessible. i've got seen some stuff that became extremely solid from a guy called Joseph Michael regardless of if it became on the information superhighway. i don't be attentive to if he has a paper form e book printed. one in all them became called A study of The Eunuchs that i presumed became eye establishing and that i think of he has another writings like quantity Meanings contained in the Bible or some thing like that. i think of one became called The Doctrine of Balaam. it extremely is approximately it. the rest extremely exceptionally lots repeat one yet another.

Answer 11

Christians can't answer this question because the Bible prohibits interpreting Revelations. If you read the last few verses of the Bible, in Revelations, you'll see the the warning -- including dire consequences for adding to or subtracting from Revelations.

The fact that Christians ignore this Biblical warning is proof that ALL Christians are selective Christians. They cherry-pick what they choose to observe and follow.

In the words of the great George Bernard Shaw:

“No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.”
