I have four questions related with the book of life mention in Revelation:
1. What is the book of life ?
2. Does it contain all the name of human being ?
3. What is the different between the book of life and the Lamb's book of life ?
4. It is written in Revelation :
"I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
Does it mean it is possible our name will be blot out ?
If yes, when does it happen and what is the consequences ?
Thank you.

Best regards,
susanto

Hi Susan! Great questions! Let me give my answer to them.

First off, the Book of Life I would say contains the names of those who are alive.

Secondly, if that's so, then yes.

Thirdly, I don't see any difference.

Fourthly, David prayed that his enemies would be blotted out of the book and chances are they were hardly God-fearers. I would say that one's name is blotted out when one dies without Christ.

Hope this helps!
