“Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous.”
Psalm 69:28 KJV
everyones name is written and then because of thier actions many are blotted out . We can’t say they weren’t in there if he’s blotting them out right ?
“Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.”
Psalm 9:5 KJV
“Let his posterity be cut off; And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.”
Psalm 109:13 KJV
it’s not written there’s no reason to be talking about blotting it out but why would someone be blotted out ?
at he book was written before the beginning but names are blotted out of it itnisnt that they were never there
“Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin–; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. ( already has been written )
And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.” (But some will be blotted out )
Exodus 32:32-33 KJV
But How can we avoid being blotted out of the lords book of life ?
“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and 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.”
Revelation 3:5 KJV
So clearly this scripture can be misunderstood
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
Revelation 13:8
One could read that wrong not understanding the book and names are of everyone and along the way many get blotted out .
A final warning about how names can be removed based on the person actions
“and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Revelation 22:19 KJV
This concept brother permeates the scripture it’s the same concept here
“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”
John 15:2-4, 6 KJV
It isn’t that the branches were never in the vine but they didn’t bear good fruit and withered and then were removed and burned up . But they were at one point branches in the vine . Just as their names were written by thier creator and later some were blotted out of the book or record of the living
