About the Book of the Lamb - The Book of Life
« In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , and the Word was
{ what } God { was }». ( John : 1 / 1 .) * « In the right hand of the One Who sat on the throne , I saw a scroll written inside and outside , sealed shut with seven seals . Then I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice , “ Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals ?” But no one in heaven above , or on earth , or under the earth , was able to open the scroll or to look in it . And so I wept much , because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look in it . One of the presbyters said to me : “ Do not weep ! Behold , the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah , the Root of David , has overcome ; He Who opens the book and its seven seals .”
I saw in the center of the throne and of the four living creatures , and in the midst of the presbyters , a Lamb standing , as though it had been slain . He had seven horns and seven eyes , which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth .
Then the Lamb came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One Who sat on the throne .
When He had taken the scroll , the four living creatures and the twenty-four presbyters fell down before the Lamb , each one having a harp and golden bowls full of incense , which are the prayers of the saints .
They sang a new song , saying : You are worthy to take the book , and to open its seals : for You were killed , and bought us for God with Your blood , out of every tribe , language , people , and nation ». ( Apoc : 5 / 1-9 .) * « I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying , “ Behold , God ’ s dwelling is with people ! He will dwell with them , and they will be His people , and God Himself will be with them as their God !» ( Apoc : 21 / 3 .) * « Nothing profane will enter into the citadel , or anyone who causes an abomination or a lie , but only those who are written in the Lamb ’ s book of life ». ( Apoc : 21 / 27 .)

Weave the crown brother with brother and do not submit yourself to death , do not give yourself to this time , as there will come something that you have not seen since you were born ; there will come the creation of earth and heaven and the New Jerusalem ; that is , they are made but they are not on earth yet . Come to your senses , as there is none in the world to stop the thing which comes from me , but the Lord is coming on other side and print another book and you are not devoid of happiness . Heaven and earth will pass away , but My word shall not pass , that at the appearing of a new work I will fire up the earth and all that is sinful will burn . And , as a house is made of stone and wood , the wood will burn and the stone will remain .
