"Whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
We shall begin with the commandment of God, "Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one".(Nu.1:2-NIV).
The Heb. word Gulgoleth translates head. Christ as the Head gives him pre-eminence; and in the Fellowship of God with Man, every man is called to be counted in the Man component. 'Man created in our image' is not merely counted but is also written down in the book of the Lord. Under the name Zion there shall be names drawn from the earth. "And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her." (Ps.87:5)
This distinction helps us to under the term Predestination better.
In the divine Will we shall examine the Father Son relationship in terms of Cause-Effect. Under the Law of Moses every head was counted under Cause. In this context we can consider the book of the Lord is about the breath of God rendering his glory in terms of the living soul. Though the Israelites did not make it to the Promised Land but for Joshua and Caleb they have their entry in the book. God shall not deny his Holiness.
Owing to sin it could be MTP or genetic mutations, nevertheless all are counted, 'one by one', and as the Psalmist would say, but they are entered in 'thy book'. "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."(Ps.139:16)
What is 'thy book'? This book of the Lord is different from the Book of remembrance. So when God tells Noah "And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."(Ge.9:16).
