Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 13:8

_ _ all that dwell upon the earth — being of earth earthy; in contrast to “them that dwell in heaven.”

_ _ whose names are not written — A, B, C, Syriac, Coptic, and Andreas read singular, “(every one) whose (Greek,hou’; but B, Greek, ‘hon,’ plural) name is not written.”

_ _ Lamb slain from the foundation of the world — The Greek order of words favors this translation. He was slain in the Father’s eternal counsels: compare 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:20, virtually parallel. The other way of connecting the words is, “Written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb slain.” So in Revelation 17:8. The elect. The former is in the Greek more obvious and simple. “Whatsoever virtue was in the sacrifices, did operate through Messiah’s death alone. As He was “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,” so all atonements ever made were only effectual by His blood” [Bishop Pearson, Exposition of the Creed].

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 13:8

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, (13) whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

(13) That is, such as are not from everlasting elected in Christ Jesus. For this is that Lamb slain; (Revelation 5:6). These words I do with Aretas, distinguish in this manner: whose names are not written from the laying of the foundation of the world, in the book of Life, of the Lamb slain. This distinction is confirmed by a similar verse in (Revelation 17:8).
