It does not say book of life in Daniel 7. What is pictured are books, and a judgment on the little horn power, the fourth beast, and the other three beasts are allowed to exist. There are the books, and then the book of life: 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:
The books contain records of works. Nations are also judged based on their actions, as I demonstrated from Amos.
Ineed but it is very clear what books are being referred to in the judgement this is demonstrated in the scriptures already provided from Daniel and Revelation that the books being referred to in the judgement were the book of life. Those not written in the book of life and those blotted out receive the Judgements of God. Those who are were written in the book of life are the ones said to receive God's kingdom. This is demonstrated in both the books of Daniel and Revelations. We must look at the book of Daniel in light of the scripture, chapter, book and context to the whole bible not in isolation of the rest as we are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
1. First Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God, and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” Here Peter regards this declaration as a prophetic statement applicable “to the last period of the church” (v5–7, 12–13). It reveals two great classes—the righteous and the sinners—that “will be judged before they are raised from the dead.” The investigative judgment of the house, or church, of God will take place before the first resurrection; so will the judgment of the wicked take place during the 1000 years of Rev. 20, and they will be raised at the close of that period.”
2. The text “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection” (Rev 20:6) refers to the righteous and is evidence that their cases will be “decided before Jesus comes to raise them from the dead.” As to the time of this judgment, it will take place “while Jesus offers his blood for the blotting out of sins.”
3. First Timothy 5:24, “Some men’s sins [the righteous] are open beforehand, going before to judgment, and some men [the wicked] they follow after,” means that “some men lay open, or confess their sins, and they go to judgment while Jesus’ blood can blot them out, and the sins be remembered no more; while sins unconfessed, and unrepented of, will follow, and will stand against the sinner in that great day of judgment of 1000 years.”
4. Further evidence of a preadvent judgment is seen in 1 Peter 4:5. From this text, it appears that the saints are judged while some are living and others are dead.
5. The Day of Atonement is a type of the judgment of God’s people. The 2300 days “reached to the cleansing of the sanctuary, or to the great day of atonement in which the sins of all who shall have part in the first resurrection will be blotted out.” the evidence is clear that since 1844 “the judgment of those who died subjects of the grace of God has been going on, while Jesus has been offering his blood for the blotting out of their sins.”
Much attention is given to the matter of the blotting out of sins in the judgment in the combined books of Daniel and Revelation. In regard to the time, Daniel 8:14 shows that this judgement does not take place when sinners are forgiven. Rather, it occurs during “the time of the cleansing of the sanctuary,” at “the great day of atonement 2300 years after the establishement and acts of the little horn.
Jesus offers his blood for the blotting out of sins. The “time for blotting out of sins is placed forward just prior to the second appearing of Jesus” according to Daniel Acts 3:19–21 and “is evidently the last great work in the ministry of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary.”
The significance of the blotting out process is brought out by the fact that there is a record in heaven of the actions of every “accountable” person (Rev 20:12; Dan 7:10; Mal 3:16). The book of life contains “the names of all who become the special subjects of divine favor” (Dan 12:1; Rev 3:5; Phil 4:3). The other divine books contain a record of sins and the deeds we have done both good aned bad (Revelations 20:11-12; 15; * Note only provided to show "other books" considered in the judgement) and also “the pardon of sins repented of, and forgiven with those works shown as evidence of their faith. This results in the maintaining of the saints names in the book of life or blotting out of the saints names in the judgement (Exodus 32:33; Deut 9:14; Rev 3:5)
Where is the book of life? It is not there.
This has already been addressed showing the scriptures in relation to God's "books"
used in the judgement one being the book of life and the other being the book of deeds done
The judgement results in keeping the saints in the book of life of blotting them out of the book of life based on their deeds (Dan 12:1; Rev 3:5; 8; 17:8; 20:12-13; 15; Mal 3:16 *Note scriptures only provided to show different books used in God's judgment).
Saying there is no book of life and book of deeds used in the judgement because the books are not descibed within the scripture of Daniel 7:10 which states that a judgment is taking place after the estaclishment of the little horn when scripture decribes what the books are that are used in the judgement in other scriptures is not an argument to say that these are not the books used in the judgment referred to in relation to the restoration and cleansing of the Sanctuary applied in Daniel 7:10 and the restoration of God's truth outlined in Daniel 8:14.
Where is the examination of the saints? It is not there.
In the books that were opened (Daniel 7:10) prior to the giving of the kingdom to the Saints v 27
And you compare this to what the high priest did on the Day of Atonement, but the High Priest when he was in the most holy place did not go through books. He made a cleansing application of blood for the sins of the whole people.
Not at all. The searching of the books for judgement is God's Work not ours or the work of the high priest.
The day of atonement (earthly) was the only time during the year when the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies in the innermost chamber of the Temple (or Tabernacle) to make atonement for the sins of all Israel. Atonement literally means "covering." The purpose of the sacrifice was to bring reconciliation between man and God (or "at-onement" with God) by covering the sins of the people and the removal of the sins of God's people held within the Sanctuary from the presence of God for the cleansing of the Sanctuary (scapegoats).
The days leading up to and on the day of Atonement for cleansing of sin (earthly) was a time of repentance to God's people (Lev 23:24-30). At this time God's people were to express remorse for their sins committed throughout the year through prayer and fasting.
The day of atonement was a type of final day of judgment to God's people, for the removal of and cleansing of the Sanctuary from all the sins of God's people committed throughout the year.
God's Word shows that the judgment is determined by what is written in God's books which include the Book of Life and the the book of remembrance (book of deeds and actions). Rev 3:5; 8; 17:8; 20:12-13; 15; Mal 3:16. Not any man made books written in the earthly of which was only a pattern of that which is in heaven. Only God can examine the books of the judgement because only God is holy.
Daniel 12 is not Daniel 7. They are found in the book of life at the time of the resurrection in Daniel 12. Daniel 7 does not even mention the book of life, or a judgment on saints, but it speaks of the judgment of the little horn.
As shown stated earlier posts the reference from Daniel 21:1 and many from Revelations and elsewhere was only provided when examining what the scriptures say are God's books used in the judgement as outlined in Daniel 7:10 nothing further. I believe God's word disagrees with you here. Although I do also believe the little horn received God's punishment after the judgment is completed.
Daniel 7 shows no blotting out of names.
Daniel 7 shows no book of life
Daniel 7 describes the saints as a group that is delivered from the little horn who is judged.
Already discussed this is like saying a scripture is not talking about the ten commandments when the words ten commandments are not used but some of the ten commandments are being referenced throughout the scripture. It is a false argument.
As shown in the earlier posts the scriptures of Daniel * show that..
DANIEL 7 AND DANIEL 8 * There are parallels in both
Daniel 7 and
Daniel 8 and their connection to the
restoration of the
daily sacrifice, Sanctuary and God's truth at the end of the 2300 day/year prophecy?
DANIEL 7 AND DANIEL 8 * Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 show the restoration of the Sanctuary and the daily sacrifice linked to judgement (Dan 7:10) which is for the
cleansing and restoration of the Sanctuary (Dan 8:14)
DANIEL 7 * Says the judgement is determined by what is written in the books that were opened (Daniel 7:10). Other scripture show what books are used in the judgment which include the book of life and the book of rememrance (deeds) Rev 3:5; 8; 17:8; 20:12-13; 15; Mal 3:16.
DANIEL 7 * It is the books that are used in the judgment that finalise who God's people are that are given the Kingdom of God at the completion of the judgement.
DANIEL 8 Judgement has everything to do with the day of Atonement and the cleansing of the Sanctuary
When does Jesus confess our names? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. Luke 9:26. It is at His coming. That is the same time as Daniel 12 references when the resurrection occurs. That is when we will bow the knee, appear before Him, confess, etc.
Sorry tall, your interpretation here disagrees with God's WORD. Prior to the 2nd coming and the completion of God's judgment we read...
REVELATION 22:11-14
[11], He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
[12], And, behold, I come quickly; and
my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
[13], I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
[14],
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
MATTHEW 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and
then he shall reward every man according to his works.
2 TIMOTHY 2: 7-8, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to
all them also that love his appearing.
God's saints will be judged prior to the 2nd coming at which time all those found written in the book of life will be rewarded.
Hope this helps.
