INTRODUCTION:
It is of great importance that we as the Church of Christ should discover certain answers for certain topics and proffer solutions to questions of the Bible. The Church of Christ has many questions to deal with or to answer. One of them is the question of the hour. When are people’s names written in the book of life, is it after one is dead or is it at birth? To answer this question a lot of scriptures need to be cited and read. This is a question that many Christians need to know and believe. We will make our stand known with this question and would like all our friends to accept it. We promise not to deceive you on any article or topic from the Bible.
Now we resorted to seeking the opinion of many people and this landed us at a decision to dig deep into the scriptures to look for the answers with prayers. Many people answering said ‘’the Bible said it is appointed to man to die once and after that judgment’’ Heb.9:27. While we do not argue much on this scripture, we refused its acceptance as an answer to the question. The truth is that whenever people die, they will go to their resting place until the time of the judgment.
We sought the opinion of another Christian who also quoted ‘’and whosoever was not found written in the book of life is cast into the lake of fire, this is the second death’’ Rev.20:15. We still could not take this scripture either. Now we must prayerfully try out what we believe could solve this problem and answer the question.
FOR OUR BELIEF OR TEACHING TO BE TRUE:
We decided to invite some prophets and disciples on this issue and obtained their views on the question. The first person we invited was UNCLE and Prophet Moses. Of course he must have something to say in this matter.
We asked him to comment on this question and he had this to say. ‘’when I was with God on mount Sanai, the Lord told me to go down because the people which I was leading had corrupted themselves in asking for a god which they would see, and the first high Priest Aaron demanded from them their necklaces and ear rings, and with it he made a gold Calf for them. Then he declared to them saying ‘’these be your gods O Israel’’ Ex. 32: 30-31.
As I came down from the mount and saw it, I was wrought with them and God asked me to give them a little chance so as to consume them within a moment. Then I said to God ‘’forgive I pray thee, and if you will not forgive them, then blot my name from your book which you have written’’ Ex. 32:32. Now this was Uncle Moses’ answer to God at that time. Did you understand anything from Moses’ answer? In case you did not understand him.
Moses was of the view that while he was yet alive and leading the people of Israel, his name was already in God’s book, which we believe was the book of life. Even before he said it we believe that his name was there and he knew about it. This is one powerful evidence on the question, but we are not satisfied yet. We are not arguing with Moses but we need more evidences on this answer, so we could confidently claim what we believe to be the right answer to it.
WE WILL INVITE ANOTHER PROPHET:
As we need to provide our visitors with the truth, we have invited another Prophet on this matter still. But this time it’s Prophet Jeremiah. Now brother Jeremiah says, your question, ‘’when are or were people’s names written in the book of life, after death or at birth’’? Hear him. ‘’when I was called to the office of the Prophet by the Lord God Almighty, I was afraid to speak the words which God put in my mouth. As I went out to speak the word, I saw the necks, faces and the bellies of those big
Prophets who had been in the business before my mother got married. I became so afraid that I went back to God and told him that I cannot speak because I’m a child’’ Jer. 1:5-6. Then God rebuked me back saying that I should not look at their faces, nor diminish a word from what I heard from him.
God went further to tell me that ‘’before I entered into my mother’s womb, that he knew me and before I came out of the womb, that he ordained me a Prophet’’.
Then I began to wonder where I was and I couldn’t understand, that’s my answer. As Prophet Jeremiah finished speaking, we began to say, Wow this kind of God, I never see your type or heard before. If we did understand Jeremiah he said, that God knew him even before he entered into his mother’s womb. Ho! So God knew everyone of us even before we were born into the world that your name is to be called John, Joseph and Marry. It means that people’s names are written in his book at birth and before they are dead.
We are taking Jeremiah’s own evidence to support that of Moses on this question. Two are better than one. These two evidences have assured us that God knew us even before we were born, so we may now say that people’s names are written in the book of life at birth, not after death. But let us invite one disciple or even Apostle. It is better to invite the fore runner of Jesus Christ which was John the Baptist on this matter, we believe he may help us with another side to the answer.
JOHN THE BAPTIST SIR:
Please sir we want your opinion on ‘’when people’s names are written in the book of life, is it at birth or after their death’’? He said we should open Jon. 1:4 and verses 8-9 and read. ‘’in him was life, and the life was the light of men’’. What is John the Baptist saying here? He was making that reference about Jesus as the life. He said in him (Jesus) was the light and this light was the life of men. This goes ahead to confirm Jesus’ later claim as ‘’the light of the world’’ Jon.8:12 and ‘’the life’’ Jon. 14:6. Here John said Jesus was the life or light of men. Now let’s go to verses 8-9 of this same Chapter.
‘’He was not that light but was sent to bear witness to that light. That was the true light which lightest every man that cometh into the world’’. These were the words of John the Baptist referring to Jesus Christ on a day Jesus came to him. John after referring his disciples to Jesus lost some of them to him. John was not that light but was sent to bear witness of that light. Everyone knows that John the Baptist was the one who was to prepare the way for the ministry of Jesus to take off.
He went ahead to disclose a powerful area unknown to man, saying ‘’he is the light that lightens everyone that comes into the world’’. With this reference we are now sure that the names of people are written in the book of life at birth and not after their death. But someone quickly asked ‘’do you not believe he was talking about people who are born into the kingdom of God, not necessarily all the people who are born into the world’’. John did not say ‘’he was the light that lightens everyone who is to be born into the kingdom of God’’. But the light that lightens everyone that cometh into the world. And people do not come into the world when they are old but when they are born as little babies.
Now listen, when a woman is Pregnant, the Baby in her womb is connected to the mother with the umbilical Cord, and she is the source through which the Baby lives. Even though we know that in the womb the baby is known to God, who preserves it till he or she is born. But whenever the Baby is delivered from the mother, the Baby must be connected to the light from above. If the light from above fails to come immediately, the Baby may die. But if the light which John said is the life of men comes quickly, it will lighten the Baby and when he or she receives this life, it will live.
Again when this light comes into the Baby, it is so powerful and it will quicken and shakes the Baby with tremendous power which makes this Baby to become afraid and he or she begins to cry out, and everyone shall be happy that the Baby lives on. That’s the reason babies cry out for the first time after birth.
On many occasions when this Baby fails to cry out immediately after delivery, the Nurses and Doctors will begin to beat the Baby in other to make it cry. If heaven at that time brings light to this Baby, the Nurses and Doctors will believe they have done a work on the Baby to make it live. But we are making it clear today that it is what John said that is true on this matter. Massaging the Baby or beating it does not bring life to the Baby, but however it could only help a weak Baby whom God has already given life/light to become strong after the beating and live.
So John was of the view that in Jesus was the light and that this light was the life of men. Therefore everyone is known to him. And he is the light that lightens everyone that comes into the world. So it means no one comes into the world without his knowledge. Now our question has been answered with this statement. At birth the names of everyone is written in the book of life. But we have to explain further. The name of everyone is given by inspiration of God to the Parents.
Yes, some mothers, fathers or relations even names some babies while in the womb. God who gave this couple the Baby inspires either the father, the mother or relation to name the Baby what should be his or her name before or after birth. At this time the name of this Baby is written immediately into the book of life. This is true as no one names a baby when he is old, but when he or she was born. Therefore we say that people’s names are written at birth and not after their death.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH?
If the man or woman, boy or girl fails to serve God in his or her life time, the name of such a person shall be removed from the book of life immediately after death Rev.20:15. Those who believe that the names of people are written in the book of life after their death do so because of scriptural conclusions on pages which they never studied. Normally people are named as babies not as old men or women. Here is a strong evidence that God writes the names of everyone coming into the world in the book of life at birth Jon. 1:9.
Yes, because such one/s shall begin to answer his or her name after birth. Or else how could Moses ask God to remove his name from his book which he had written, if he was not going to forgive his people their sins while he was living Ex.32:32? When was his name written? Moses and the prophets and even the disciples or Apostles knew these things very well. But our present crop of believers, nay Pastors and ministers do not sit down and study the word before they jump into conclusions on some topics. Always come here for the truth of Biblical topics, or products.
God bless.
