Revelation 20:12 says, “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”

In Daniel 7:9-10, the Ancient of Days was seated…The court was seated, and the books were opened.”

God recorded the names of those who would believe and be saved. We used to sing the hymn, “Is Your Name Written There?” Revelation 21:27 says that by no means will anyone enter the New Jerusalem, “…but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”

The Lord knows all things. He knows our thoughts before we think them. He knows the words on our tongue before we speak them. He listens to the conversations of those who fear Him. His books are only evidence for man of what He always knew.
