No, I accept that verse. Those unsaved in the church age are written in the book of Life.You forgot this verse:
"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
If God redeemed all humanity, why did He purposely not seal them all in the Lamb's book of life?
Moses claims a name can be blotted out:
"Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book."
All were placed in the Lamb's book of life. Only the Lamb could open the book so names could be removed. By the time the mark is given, names have been removed.
You have not proven there are 2 books of life where the Atonement Covenant allowed for the redemption of Adam's dead corruptible flesh. When a Seal was opened, John was told to come and see an event, but only the first four. John participated in the 5th and 6th Seal as he is redeemed and named in the Lamb's book of life.
Well yes Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the World. but you forget the church was not established until Pentecost. Even Jesus when He walked declared His Chruch had not yet begun to be built!
And you are forcing the Lambs Book of Life to equal the Book of Life which it is not.
You forget that the ancient OT saints did not have a heavenly hope. They were awaiting Messiah and to live in an earthly kingdom.
You also forget that these are written to people who had particular understandings, of which many are not written in Scripture.
The Book of Life is the Book of the Living. To be blotted out of the book of life is to die!
Believers will never have their names blotted out of the Lambs book of Life- though they may have their names blotted out of the the Book of the living.
