Revelations

[Craig]

Hi,

If our names are not found in the book of life, we'll be thrown into the lake of fire.
So why even mentioned about "other books" being opened and etc..?
Thank you.

Sincerely,
KwaiYing


Dear Kwai:
Good point. I do not answer questions on Revelation as it would be a full time job for the rest of my life. One day I hope to write a commentary on the whole book. However, it appears that there will be those who WILL be written in the book of life (which should be written Book of Life) at Judgment, that will not be "CAST" into the lake of fire. "Cast" indicates force against one's will.  These earlier subjects who receive LESS STRIPES would certainly include the Patriarchs, Job, etc.
God be with you,
Ray
