Ellicott's Bible Commentary for English Readers Rev 13:8 "There is some doubt about the connection of the words "from the foundation of the world." Some connect them with the word "written": this would express that the names were written "from the foundation of the world" in the book. Others...

How can they be the same? Only "the dead" according to Rev 20 are judged according to what is found written in the book(s). While all those written in the Lamb's Book of Life have overcome the second death that is the Lake of Fire.

All are blotted out of the book of the living when we physically die. But names recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life can never be blotted out if we live and die IN Christ. Whosoever is an overcomer while physically alive have the promise of God that their names shall NEVER be blotted out of the...

There is a difference between the books that record the names of all who live and die, and the Lamb's Book of Life that has recorded all of the names of whosoever shall be saved. Names are recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the world because the promise that Christ would...

Revelation 5:6 (KJV) And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Revelation 13:8 (KJV) And all...

There are no promises yet to be fulfilled regarding the promised land. Joshua plainly says that nothing regarding the land and driving away all enemies from it that ALL the promises to Israel of Old were fulfilled when the land was divided according to each of the twelve tribes of Israel...

Even if more time would be given to some who might repent and turn to Christ for salvation, the Day of God's grace shall come to an end when His saints are caught up to meet the Lord in the air at His second coming. Today (this age) is the time for which man MUST be saved. Once Christ comes...

In reality wasn't the first man to be punished from before the foundation of the world? Why does Scripture tell us that Christ (as a man) is the Lamb slain before creation to be the propitiation for sin He was never guilty of?

All of these passages point to the last and final Day of Lord when Christ comes the second time in wrath when the Day of His grace comes to an end.

That depends on whether you're talking about the beginning of the Day of the Lord with the first advent of Christ come to earth a man? Or are you talking about the final Day of the Lord when Christ shall return the second time in wrath to gather together His saints, and send down the fire of...

The effects on earth after every believer is caught up to meet the Lord in the air will be sudden as the fire of God's wrath shall come suddenly upon this earth burning up every living being left behind. Those left behind won't have more time to consider their fate. Believing more time shall...

Once Christ comes the second time to gather His people to Himself, giving them immortality and incorruptibility, what would be the purpose for those left behind continuing to be alive on this earth? Does Scripture tell us some of them will still also be changed and given immortality and...

Thank you Ritajanice, hope to be spending more time back on the boards.

Isn't every man born naturally, or of a natural human nature? Yet, does not Scripture tell us natural man must be born again supernaturally?

Is Christ saying, as you are suggesting, that we must become a child again to enter the kingdom of heaven? Or is Christ saying for us to enter the kingdom of heaven we must become dependent upon Him as these children demonstrate when turning to Him?

Since believers are commanded not to transgress the Law of God, why mention only the Law that pertains to keeping of the Sabbath day? Isn't ALL of God's Law equally important and not to be transgressed? If we're going to argue the faithful MUST be obedient to the Old Law of God (before Christ)...

Exactly!

Hal Lindsey along with the 'Left Behind' series are fictional fantasies! When the last trumpet begins to sound that Christ has come again, I don't believe the raptured saints, or God will be worrying about those who are left behind on this earth. Because all of them are destined to the wrath...

When we are caught up to meet the Lord in the air (raptured), I agree the number of Christians still alive when Christ comes shall be few. Probably why Christ rhetorically asks if He would find faith on the earth. But it won't be only Christians who are still alive on the earth, because they...

Until sin, and death through sin entered creation, A&E could not live forever after disobeying God without the ability to eat from the tree of life, and God blocked the way to the tree of life so they could not eat of it and live forever. Adam & Eve did NOT physically die immediately, they...
