The 'Book of Life' (1st draft)
From "the founding of the world" written down,
Symbolically speaking--persons whole
Dedicatedly, of heart, mind and soul
Seeking to please Jah, so as to be found
In "the Book of life."
For did not Moses to Jehovah say
After His people, Jah, did not obey:
"But now if you are willing," Moses said,
"pardon their sin; if not, please wipe me out
from your book that you have written” instead? Ex. 32:32.
A golden calf dead, helpless to defend
Cost many their lives. God removed their names:
“Whoever has sinned against me," explained
Jah. "I will wipe him out of my book."... Penned.
"Written in the heavens." Luke 10:20.
For 'the Living God' of Israel "said:
‘They always go astray in their hearts, and
they have not come to know my ways.’" Paul read
To the Hebrews to help them firmly stand:
"Beware, brothers, for fear there should ever develop in any one of you a
wicked heart lacking faith by drawing a-
way from the living God". Paul hoped, NEVER. Heb. 3:10, 12.
True efforts daily made no need to pray:
"Let them be erased from the book of the living,
And may they not be enrolled among the righteous." Ps. 69:28.
For acts done in ignorance or deliberately
For which Jah Jehovah will not be forgiving. 2Thess.1:6-10.
Because, "Jehovah is truly God. He
Is the living God and the eternal King.
Because of his indignation the earth
will quake, And no nations will endure His
Denunciation." By means of Christ “In-
deed, in his name nations will hope.” Retribution to bring.
Foretold: "This is what you should say to them:
“The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth
Will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”
He is the Maker of the earth by his power,
The One who established the
productive land by his wisdom
And who stretched out the heavens by his understanding." Jer. 10:10-12.
Man's rule retracted in His designated hour.
Since elucidated:
"I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way
does not belong to him. It does not be-
long to man who is walking even
to direct his step." Stated. Yes. Promulgated.
Why: "At that time those who fear Jehovah
spoke with one another,
each one with his companion,
and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening.
And a book of remembrance was written before him
for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name." Faithful. Not blotted out.
Unfaithful--Not missing:
“I will come near to you for judgment,
and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who take false oaths,
against those who defraud the hired worker, the widow, and the fatherless child," by many loathed,
"and against those who refuse to help the foreigner."
These have not feared me,” says Jehovah of armies.
“For I am Jehovah; I do not change." Mal. 3:5, 6, 16.
Yes, "Jehovah knows the thoughts of men".Ps. 94:11.
Those "who endure to the end" loyal
He will let forever remain:
"And I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed for the witness they gave about Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had not worshipped the wild beast or its image and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand.
And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for 1, 000 years." Rev. 20:4.
Also,
"The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it." Ps. 37:29.
"For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones." Heb. 6:10.
So, "Do not be amazed at this,
for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out,
those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." John 5:28, 29.
Yes, "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened.
But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life.
The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds."
Happily, "the sea gave up the dead in it,
and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them,
and they were judged individually according to their deeds.
And death and the Grave were hurled into the lake of fire.
This means the second death, the lake of fire."
"Furthermore,
whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire." Rev. 20:12-15.
Nevertheless,
"The memory of the righteous one is due for a blessing,
But the name of the wicked will rot." Pro. 10:7.Said of Jehovah to be soon fulfilled:
"You have rebuked nations and destroyed the wicked,
Blotting out their name forever and ever." Ps. 9:5.
Destroyed eternally
Those determined not to do God's will.
