Hi Jim: ( My words in red ) >
Question: Who does 22:14 say enters in through the gates into the city?
Answer: He that has right to the tree of life.
Wrong ! Correct answer --> Those who keep his commandments !
Question: Who does 2:7 say is allowed to eat of the tree of life?
Answer: He that overcomes.
Correct, but what you fail to take into your understanding here, is that he was "only" speaking to the seven churches in Asia, not the whole world !
Question: From what book does 3:5 say he that overcomes will not be blotted out? Answer: The book of life.
Correct, the book of life, but again I want to point out, that he was "only" talking to the seven churches in Asia here , not the whole world !
Question: Then what book allows a person to enter in through the gates into the
city?
Answer: The book of Life.
Wrong again ! The "answser" is in Rev. 21:27 - "The Lamb's book of life"
Question: What book does 21:27 say allows a person to enter into the city?
Answer: The Lambs book of life.
This is correct, because this is the "other" book of life. #1 - "book of life" and #2 - the Lamb's book of life"
Question: If the book of life allows a person to enter in through the gates into the city, and if the Lambs book of life allows a person to enter into the city, what does that say about the book of life and the Lambs book of life?
Answer: Theyre the same book.
Your answer is above in the previous question and answers . There is "not" one verse , that claims that those whoes names are in the " book of life " will enter into the New Jerusalem through the gates ! The "only" verses that speak about entering into the New Jerusalem through the gates are Rev. 21:7 and Rev. 22:14, and I do not see any mention of the "book of life" in these two verses ! However, I do see the "Lamb's book of life" in Rev. 21:7, "and" , they are "not" the same book. And, there is proof, that there are two books of life.
In the book of life, their names were written in this book, from the foundation of the world - Rev. 17:8
In the Lamb's book of life, their names were written in this book, from "before" the foundations of the world. John 17:24 & Ephesians 1:4 - The Father chose them and gave them to his Son, and put their names in the Lamb's book of life. They will become "kings" and they are such that keep the commandments of the Lord, and can enter into through the gates of the New Jerusalem. All others will be encompassed by the coming down out of the New Heaven , the New Earth will encompass all those whoes names were written in the "book of life". The New Heaven was established first, which is called the "kingdom of heaven", and the New Earth is called the "kingdom of God", and this is where his throne is set up, from which he will be King of kings and Lord of lords
