10 “If anyone is meant for captivity,
into captivity he goes!
If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
with the sword he is to be killed!”
This is when God’s holy people must persevere and trust!
-Revelations 13:8-10
Everyone on earth will worship... Through this we understand that is it a natural characteristic of man to worship a god, a power, a higher being greater than themselves. It is inate in man to worship. They can even worship themselves if they make themselves their gods. But those whose names are written in the Book of Life are those that belong to GOD. Is your name written on the book of life? If you don't even know what the book of life is, search it out and read GOD's Word because man's salvation in sound in the words of the Bible. Everything we ever need to be in the book of Life is written there. We need to continue reading the Book of GOD given to man - the Bible for HIS word, which is who HE is Himself - the Lamb, instructs and speaks to us through this living word.
Everyone living on earth at the time of GOD's judgement will all go through the great tribulation coming into earth. Only GOD knows how we can ever overcome from this time of Jacob's trouble (the great tribulation), it is through trusting and persevering that we will be able to pass through the great tribulation without having to be disqualified from being in the Book of Life. The time will come when everyone will be tested and it will not be easy but only those who persevere and overcome will enter GOD's Kingdom receiving great rewards from the greatest King who has been watching over us throughout our entire lives, all the days of our life on earth. If we know HE is ever present before us, should we live carelessly knowing that there is a great time of GOD's judgement coming? It doesn't mean to say that we live in fear when we are being aware of GOD's judgement, it is to live in the highest respect and worship to a GOD to whom we will give an account of our entire lives all the days of our life on earth. The GOD who sees all, who knows all, but loves us inspite of it all.
