Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me [i.e. is not covered by the blood of the Lamb from the foundation of the world], him will I blot out of my book. (Rev 3:5) He that overcometh [his self, his natural man, his old man], the same shall be clothed in white raiment [the “white robe” of righteousness: Rev 6:11; 7:9,13]; 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.
