Revelation 13:8, KJT
"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.
What does the scripture
mean by "slain from the foundation of the world"?

Brother, trying
reading the passage this way:
"... whose
names are not written... from before the foundation of the world....
"... written in
the book of life of the Lamb slain."
No Lamb was slain
from before the foundation of the world.
Many names were
written in the Book of Life from before the foundation of the world.
"Lamb slain" is a phrasal possessive adjective which qualifies the noun "the book of life." Whose book of life? The Book of Life of the Lamb slain.
"from before the foundation of the world" is a phrasal adverb which qualifies the verb "written". When were they written? From before the foundation of the world.
Re 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.
Re 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.
So, it makes plain
sense that the phrase "from the foundation of the world" in Rev 13:8
qualifies "whose names are not written in the book of life" and NOT
the "Lamb slain."
Soundbytitis is a
dreadful disease; it incapacitates the mind of a man from distinguishing sound
from sense.

Lovely Saints
indeed!

So who was slain
from the foundation of the world? The ones whose names were not written or the
lamb?
Sing
Feston, in this passage, NO
ONE was slain from the foundation of the world; the Lamb was slain on the
cross.
Many names were
written in the Book from the foundation of the world.
What book? The book
of life.
Whose book? The book
of the Lamb slain.
Just repeating.
