- The Book of Revelations Pt 17 ( Sections of The Book of Life ) - Samuel Dale
REVELATION 3:1
1 ¶ And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
REVELATION 3:2
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
REVELATION 3:3
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
REVELATION 3:4
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
REVELATION 3:5
5 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 3:6
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

55-272 Then look. You say, "Well, now, Brother Branham, do you mean to tell me there's going to be--the--that people that's going to be there at the white throne judgment?" They'll... The Bride will never be judged. No, sir. She's in Christ. How do you get in Christ? "By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body." Is that right?
Now, look, look here. The Bible said, "Judgment was set, and the Books were opened." Is that right? Books of sinners. "And another Book was opened," which is the Book of Life, and every man was judged thus. Is that right? And who was doing the judging? Jesus and the saints. He said, "He came and ministered unto the Ancient of Days Whose hair is like wool." And said, "Ten thousand times ten thousands come with Him, and ministered to Him in the judgment." Here Jesus returns as King and Queen; the wedding's over, and He's married. Here's King and Queen standing here. And there stands that sanctified bunch; God said, "Stand to My right side here." That's the Book was opened, was sinners, "Get over on My left." Here's the ones that had their names written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

198 And here He comes back for the judgment upon the nations. Paul said, "Dare any of you all go to court that has a matter against one another, can't take care of these little things, knowing not that the saints shall judge the earth?" Here's the judgment that had been given over to Christ and His saints; they're the attorneys in the box; there He sets at the throne. Here's the Bride, the attorney.
And here comes these up. The Books were opened, and another Book which is the Book of Life.
Now, the first Book was the Book of the sinner; that was cast away. All right. He's condemned to begin with. There's the--there's the goats. He don't even have a chance (See?); he's a sinner to begin with. All right, now, he's cast away.

74-97 Now, He said, "That time's near at hand, for they're going to tear down this temple and put up the Moslem of Omar, is going to stand on the same place here, the Mohammedans, Gentiles. And it's going to stand there."
"Gentile" means "unbeliever." That wasn't the Church now. That was the Gentile (See?), the unbeliever. Now, and that will stand until the Gentile dispensation will be finished. Then when the Gentile dispensation be finished, the great Prince is to stand for the people Who is Christ, at the end time.
"He came to Him," in Daniel, "Whose hair was white as wool (like you see Him in Revelations 1), to the Ancient of time. And the judgment was set and the Books were opened. Books (plural) was opened and every man was judged out of the Books, the things was written therein." Look, the Books were opened, "He saw Him coming, and ten thousands times ten thousands ministered to Him," saints come with Him. Is that right, in Daniel? "And the Books were opened," that's the Book of your life, "and every man--and every man was judged thus, the sinner, judged thus. And another Book was opened," which was the Book of Life, "and every man was judged."

44 Like in the book here, and the spot there we was talking about the--the two Books being one, the Book of Life. The first Book of life coming up, was when you were born, that was your natural birth. See? But then one time, way back down in there, there was a little grain of Life as I've explained to some of the young sisters at the house this afternoon. See, there's a little grain of Life laying there which you'd wonder, "Where did It come from? What--what these strange things?"

30-1 Life is a sacred thing to God, and it's recorded in a Book. God's the Author of Life. Do you believe that? Our natural life here we have here is just a perversion. It really should be the right Life to begin with. But it's perverted by the natural birth.
The first life or your first union, you were joined in at birth by nature. A natural act, a natural human being associated, man and woman together, associated together in sexual affair which brought your first life here, and that's associated with sin and death.
272-2 SARDISEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.7
Now I am sure that you have noticed that those whose names were in the Book of Life were a part of the religious order of that day that centered around the true God and worship of Him, though they did not worship according to Truth (Word). Like Judas they didn't go all the way. See how Judas was chosen of God. He was instructed in truth. He shared knowledge of the mysteries. He had a ministry of power granted unto him and he healed the sick and cast out devils in Jesus' Name. But when the show-down came, he sold out for gold and political power. He did not go up to Pentecost to receive the Spirit of God. He was devoid of the Spirit. Make no mistake about it, a person that is truly baptized by the Holy Ghost into the body of Christ receiving the fullness of the Spirit will be in the WORD ALL THE WAY. That is the evidence of being baptized with the Holy Ghost. Judas failed. Multitudes fail right there. And when they fail to go on in that Word, their names are taken off the Book of Life.

192-Q-40 40. Will only those who have the baptism of the Holy Ghost be in the rapture of the church, or will all believers be indicated?
We ain't... We haven't got time to justify that. But, brother, only the Holy Ghost Bride will be in the rapture. See? The Bible strictly--the others won't be lost.
Look. Who's going to judge the earth? Saints. Daniel said, "I saw Him come to the Ancient of time, and--and He came with ten thousands times ten thousands of His Saints." Is that right? The rapture, the church had gone on. Then they come down, and the judgment was set, and the Books were opened. Is that right? And another Book was opened which was the Book of Life (the sanctified believer that hadn't received the Holy Ghost).

1125-295 Sanctification is when your name goes on the book as a believer. Your word--your name is wrote in His Blood. See? Sanctification does that; and you come up, when He's trusted you up to this far, and then come up and you say, "Well, would He know it?"
Yes, He knowed it. He knowed you wouldn't do it in the beginning. He knowed Judas wouldn't do it. He knowed him from the beginning; he was the son of perdition. But them thing has to be fulfilled. See? The Word has to be fulfilled, although types and shadows. Oh, my. We could stay on that for hours.

32-2 Now, your old book is gone with your old union. Now, your name in your old--in your--has been transferred. Now, you say, "Do you mean to tell me, that my old book..." God put it in the sea of His forgetfulness. You stand perfectly before God.
Now, your name is now in the new Book, not in the Book of Life, but the Lamb's Book of Life. What the Lamb redeemed, not the old book of your natural union, but you're new Bride. Hallelujah! Your new Life is in the Lamb's Book of Life, your marriage certificate (Hallelujah.) where your true eternal germ from the beginning takes hold.
