In the study of biblical prophecy, it is important to understand that what has happened in the past will be repeated in the future in detailed and identifiable ways. The past is a picture of what God is going to cause to happen in the future. This is demonstrated time and time again throughout scripture. For a good example of this, see the four part series below.

With all of this in mind, we come to the story of Joseph. Joseph is the best example of an allegory of the life and ministry of Christ found in the pages of the Old Testament. Joseph typifies, or is an intentionally divinely appointed picture of Jesus in so many ways. Hated by his brothers, he was sold for 20 shekels of silver, only to become the governor of Egypt and savior of his father's household. This four part series covers every aspect of Joseph's life and compares even the smallest detail with a similar aspect in the life of Christ. It has been said that there are over a hundred comparisons between Joseph and Jesus. Furthermore, Joseph is an integral and important hidden part of prophecy concerning the last days and a global city called Mystery Babylon mentioned in Revelation 17 and Revelation 18. It is seen in his marriage to his Egyptian wife Asenath (Click the link below).

Also discussed in this series are the parallels that existed in the story of Joseph and his life that foreshadow the future seven-year time frame of judgment on earth described in scripture as the Tribulation, accompanied with it's horrific global famine, and followed by the second coming of Christ in power. J.R. Church and Gary Stearman cover these parallels and much more in these four remarkable presentations.

![THE BOOK OF LIFE: SECULAR AND SACRED
What is the Book of Life both secular and sacred? The Bible tells us that there is such a book, but is there only one? With the advent of DNA research, we learn that every person is made up of a unique set of values - a book of life, so to speak. It is more than a mere listing of genes and DNA. Revelation 20:15 declares, “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” The Book of Life, in this context, is the set of names of those who will live with God forever in heaven. It is the roll of those who are saved. This Book of Life is also mentioned in Revelation 3:5; 20:12; and Philippians 4:3. The same book is also called the Lamb’s Book of Life because it contains the names of those who have been redeemed by the blood of the Jesus Christ (Revelation 13:8; 21:27).
How can you be sure your name is written in the Book of Life? Be sure you’re saved. Repent of unbelief about who Jesus is and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5). Once your name is written in the Book of Life, it is never erased (Revelation 3:5; Romans 8:37-39). No true believer should doubt his eternal security in Christ (John 10:28-30).
The Great White Throne Judgment, described in Revelation 20:11-15, is a future judgment for unbelievers. That passage makes it clear that no one at that judgment has his name in the Book of Life (Revelation 20:12-14). The fate of the unsaved is sealed; their names are not in the Book of Life; their punishment is sure. Some people point to Revelation 3:5 as “proof” that a person can lose his salvation:
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.
However, the promise of Revelation 3:5 is clearly that the Lord will not erase a name: “He who overcomes . . . I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life.” An overcomer is one who is redeemed, or saved. The saved are written in God’s registry and have the promise of eternal security.
Another passage over which confusion sometimes arises is Psalm 69:28: “Let them [David’s enemies] be blotted out of the book of the living.” This “book of the living” should not be confused with the Lamb’s Book of Life. David is referring to earthly, physical life, not eternal life in heaven. The same is true of the “book” mentioned in Exodus 32:32-33.
God keeps good records. He knows His own, and He has set the names of His children permanently in His book.
