What is "the book of life," and whose names will be retained therein? The book, or scroll, of life refers to the record of Jehovah's servants who come in line to receive the grant of everlasting life. (Malachi 3:16) Here in Revelation specific reference is made to the names of the anointed Christians. Bu the names of those in line for everlasting life on earth are also recorded therein. Moreover, names can be 'blotted out "of that book. (Exodus 32:32, 33) Nevertheless, those of the John class whose names remain in the book of life until their death receive immortal life in heaven. (Revelation 2:10) These are the names that Jesus specifically acknowledges before his Father and before His angels. How magnificent that reward!
