Yet because God holds man responsible for his failure to observe that he must have been made by a creator God and serve the one true God who created him there has been a record being made of everything that has been done by every person every created for their entire life-these are the books.Īnd according to Revelation 20:12, “the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” 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. And in the book of life there are names and according to Revelation 17:8 the names were written in the book before the foundation of the world. There is a book called the book of life and then there are other books. It is the final judgment before those who have rejected the grace of God are sent to eternal separation from God in a place called hell. Revelation 20:12 describes and event not yet to have happened. God’s Sovereignty and human responsibility meet together in Revelations 20:12 in a most amazing way reminding me once again that salvation is of the Lord but nothing absolves any man of their responsibility to obey the gospel. Revelation 20:12 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.
