overcomers at last that our names can be

retained in that hook. But all will not

overcome. Their names, of course, will be

blotted out. And reference is made to some

definite point of time in the future for this

work. “I will not,” says Christ (in the future),

blot out the names of the overcomers, which is

also saying, by implication, that at the same

time he will blot out the names of those who

do not overcome. Is not this the same time

mentioned by Peter in Acts 3:19? “Repent ye,

therefore, and he converted, that your sins

may he blotted out, when the times of

refreshing shall come from the presence of the

Lord.” To say to the overcomer that his name

shall not be blotted out of the book of life, is to

say also that his sins shall be blotted out of the

book wherein they are recorded, to be

remembered against him no more forever.
