Ellicott's commentary at biblehub.com suggests a slightly improved sentence structure for this verse, which reads: "And all they that dwell on the earth shall worship him (every one) whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that has been slain from the foundation of the world." This is a very sobering verse and stern warning to all of us that Salvation through Christ is the only thing that can save us from falling under the spell of the anti-Christ. Verse seven warns us that this beast is given power to overcome even the saints, and that authority was given to him "over every tribe, language, people and nation". When you meditate on the overwhelming nature of this cult that is set to form at the end times around a demonic figure, it is quite frightening to contemplate.
This is why it is so important to accept Christ into our lives and to deeply absorb His teachings in the Gospels and allow Him to change us in ways that enable us to reflect His light into the world. Acceptance of Salvation is the wedding, the initiation into the marriage between our soul and the light of Christ, in which we become His representative on earth, reflecting his pure love and righteousness in all our affairs.
We are human and fallible so of course we do not achieve perfection in this life, but as long as we are sincerely seeking to obey the teachings of Christ and emulate the perfect nature of His love, we can rest assured that we will not fall under the power of the anti-Christ when the day comes that he is unleashed on the earth and power is given to him to overcome the common sense and intelligence of ordinary people. Please accept Christ into your life today so that your name will be written in the Lamb's Book of Life along with all others that make up the body of Christ.
A Prayer for Salvation from Christ:
Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and for answering my prayer.
