THE BOOKS

…and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. Revelation 20.12

Why did John see ONE Book of Life, and BOOKS having to do with the Second Death?

There would be no need to have BOOKS if the quantity of names of the lost was equal to the saved. But the number of the lost is so immense that it required more books. Accordingly, books were opened.

This powerful revelation should cause people to prioritize the salvation of their souls more than anything else in this world. This has to do with the eternal life of our souls, not a mere long life of a hundred years!
And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. Revelation 20.12

The people whose names are written in these BOOKS will be judged, condemned, and quickly thrown into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone.

There will be no defense lawyer or accusations, because the BOOKS will have already registered the works of each one. There will be no appeal to a superior court because the Judge is the Eternal Lord, the Ultimate Authority of the Heavens, Earth and the entire Universe.

And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20.15
