Rev. Blume:
> After He took the book, we know it represented His work
of salvation 
> for us because we read:

Me:
Philippians 4:3
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women
which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also,
and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the
book of life. 

Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book
of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and
before his angels. 

Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose
names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. 

Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall
ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names
were not written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not,
and yet is. 

Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and
the books were opened: and another book was opened, which
is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those
things which were written in the books, according to their
works. 

Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire. 

Revelation 21:27
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that
defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh
a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of
life. 

Revelation 22:19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book
of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book. 

This book is indeed the "record" of Jesus work of
salvation.  This book in verse 5 is the book of Life. 
Jesus breaks the seal to judge his Chruch and it is opened
AGAIN at the white throne judgment.

Remember that I said that this "book" was written upon dead
flesh and was written inside and out, Spirit of the
believer WITH works without.  This is sealed with seven
seals.  Seven is the number of judgment.  Judgment of the
dead flesh written inside and out and the seals opened and
the flesh "freed" so that the Lamb could "proclaim" the
contents before His Father AND bring judgment (but not yet
execution of sentence) upon those whose names are not
therein.
 
Rev. Blume:
 Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals
thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God
by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people,
and nation; Rev 5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings
and priests: and we shall 
 reign on the earth.
 
Taking the book effected redemption!

Me:
AMEN!
 
Rev. Blume:
This mighty angel is Jesus Christ, 

Me:
Couldn't be Jesus.

Rev. Blume:
> He held an open book!  ....
> Rev 10:9  And I went unto the angel, and said unto him,
Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and
eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall
be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

Me:
Ezekiel 3:3, "And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy
belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I
give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as
honey for sweetness."

Here Ezekiel took a book from an ANGEL that was sweet when
he ate it as was John's book.  John says that his book made
his stomach sour.  This cannot be the message of salvation
but represents "prophecy."  This prophecy is "sweet" in the
mouth of the saved but sour in the belly or flesh of even
the saved and especially the unsaved.
