I. God's objective: bring about forgiven (redeemed/reconciled/justified), holy/saints (sanctified), who can be rewarded (glorified) epi (basis of) their HS motivated faithfulness, thus glorifying God when He gives them earned glory of The Age. Misunderstand: Repent; Faith, Forgiveness; Kgdm of Heaven; Eternal life; Hell; Wrath       Heb 11-brings about reward

V. Glimpses of the Kingdom and the Eternal/Forever State of the New Heavens and New Earth (post lake of fire!!)

Rev 21:6 Alpha and the Omega, I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes* shall inherit all things, and I will be his God he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving/unfaithful, abominable, murderers, immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part/inheritance Mt 24:51 Lk 15:12 Rev 20:6 in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.  cf *Rev 2-4 overcomers

Rev 22:3...His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face 5...Lord God gives them light. and they shall reign forever and ever.  7 coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book 12 I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one acc to his work. 13 Blessed are those who do His commandments (Jn 14:15; Phil 2:13), that they may have the right to the Tree of Life, and may enter thru the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

A. Lamb's Book of Life/Dominion ~ ANE civil registers. Exclusion from rights (voting/ruling) and privileges/blessings of community

*Ex 32:32 Yet now, if You will, forgive their sin --- but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your Book which You have written."

33 And the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My Book.

34 Now go, lead the people... Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin."

Dan12:1...at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the Book. 2 and  many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

Mal 3:15 vain to serve..16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name. 17 "They shall be Mine" says the LORD of hosts  the day I make them My jewels. 18 discern between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him

B. The Righteous have been written in the Book, the unrighteous/disobedient have their names crossed/blotted out (yet have still been written in it)

*Ps 69:27..let them not attain into Your righteousness 28 Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written with the righteous

Isa 4:2 In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious...3...he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy - everyone who is recorded among the Living in Jerusalem. 4 When the Lord has washed..purged by judgment..burning

Rev 2:7 He who has an ear..hear what the Spirit says to churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the Tree of Life, 22:14 which in the midst of the Paradise of God. 10 tested..tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life (What if ur not victorious?)

*Rev 3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Cf  Lk l2:8 whoever confesses Me before men, Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God 9 who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.  2Pt 2:10 I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. 13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 

C. First Resurrection (Rapture/Trib martyrs/OT saints) obedient; deeds judged for blessing/reward or loss/punishment (not Lake of fire)

Rev 20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and authority to judge NIV was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark...they lived and reigned with Christ Rm 6:17 for 1k years. 5 This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part/inheritance in the first resurrection. Over such the second death 2:11; 20:14 21:8 lake of fire has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him 1k  years.

D. Second Resurrection (2nd death) deeds judged for punishment/loss (saved by having  been written in the Book of Life)

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged acc to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

15 And anyone not found written pft in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.  1Cor 3:15 fire burns works but person still saved

Jer 22:30 LORD: Write this man down as childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days; for none of his descendants shall prosper,

Ezk 13:9 I am indeed against you (false prophets), says the Lord GOD. 9...they shall not be in the assembly of My people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
