Well you can have your name written in the Lamb's scroll of life.Revelation 5
King James Version
5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
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 saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
the word book here is biblion and also means a scroll. Given that each seal unveils a particular item most linguist believing scholars realize it is a scroll!
The Lambs Book of Life is found only in Rev. 21:27. It is a book of the names of the saved and not judgment for the earth.
The trumpets themselves are not in the scroll, but are revealed when the scroll is opened to that point.
do a little research from believers and see why over99% call it a scroll.

I will stay with a book, because today the Bible is a book, not a scroll.
