Revelation 13
Devotional
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
– Revelation 13:8
Revelation 13 has much to say about an anti-christ figure, who many believe is still yet to come. But in the midst of this anti-christ discussion we read of the “Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
This informs us that God’s redemptive plan, ultimately fulfilled through the Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, was a plan that God laid from the very beginning of creation. This means that God’s redemptive plan, in Jesus, was not plan “B” after the fall of Genesis 3. Jesus, and His redemptive sacrifice, was always God’s plan “A.”
