Revelation 13:8

Verse

Revelation 13:8

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.

  • Worship
  • Salvation
  • Faith
  • God
  • Christ
Bebe's interpretation
It is anticipated that the antichrist will become so powerful and arrogant as to accept worship from the earth's inhabitants. The beast is almost universally worshipped. Obviously, the Lamb is Jesus Christ, who freely offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. This verse illustrates the truth by the fact that believers refuse to be a part of the age of evil, which will be ruled by the beast.
The inhabitants of the earth will wonder after the beast and worship him. Many will be lured away from the only hope they have for salvation, which is in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. In the end, all will discover they are among the lost, deceiving, unbelieving humanity and will face eternal separation from God, except those whose names are recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life by faith.
By grace through faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the righteous, God knew in advance that mankind would fall into sin. Thanks be to God that on Calvary's cross, the Lamb, who was slain from the foundation of the world, fulfilled God's redemptive act. The Lamb's Book of Life already contains our names. Let us accept this basic, biblical truth with trusting, childlike faith.
