Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world – (Revelation 13:8). What does this mean since history has it, He was crucified/slain only some 2000 years ago? Let’s take a closer look at this verse.
This verse reads: And ALL who dwell on the earth shall, [Meaning mandatory; no getting around it.], worship him, [him referring to the Antichrist]. ALL, is referring to the people whose name is not written in The Book of Life, of the Lamb, [Jesus], who was slain from the foundation of the world. Get it … before the World was made.
Again, ALL in this verse are the people who for whatever reasons remain Earthly — individuals that rather seek Earthly pleasures, profits, and honors. Too, they’ll also be known as admirers, and adorers of the beast consciously or not; [Beast — once more referring to the Antichrist.]. Their names are not written in Jesus’ book of people who are promised eternal life because they’ve rejected Him, plus His pardon, and chose to be Earthly minded instead. Or, as I titled, “The Walking Dead”.
Jesus being slain before the foundation of the world is a spiritual understanding, and truth. It’s known by believers who study scripture, that in the Spiritual Realm everything pertaining to, and about the Physical World/Realm has already been done. The reason is, there’s no calculation of Time in the Spiritual Realm, it’s an existence of yesterday, today, and tomorrow all at once — Infinite. The Physical World/Realm, is just a pimple inside of Infinity, and was completed when God rested – (Genesis 2:2,3).
Jesus was part of a predestined phase — sequence of the Physical World/Realm’s, reality concerning Man; chosen before Man’s existence to be slain if, and when this Man creation disobeyed God by rejecting Him, for what Satan had to offer through lies after he was no longer know as Lucifer, the cherished cherub – (Ezekiel 28:14), and – (Isaiah 14:12,13), but as Satan, the devil — and Man did just that. So, the physical manifestation of the predestined slain Jesus, only happened some 2000 years ago; fulfilling Spiritual prophecy’s table of contents relating to Jesus’ physical appearance into our World.
To make a clearer illustration, imagine this parable.
It’s known, they’re some places in the world where there is no crime, [I should say, very, very, very, very, little]. These places have one Jail built on top of a hill for all to see, and it’s always occupied, but still, there’s practically no crime at all, because if someone committed a crime, they killed that person in the Jail, and replace them with the new criminal. So, if YOU committed a crime, they killed who was there in Jail, and replace them with YOU. This works well for them, and everyone owned a manual of jailable offenses.
Let’s fast forward to today. Jesus was the man in that Jail, predestined to die/slain BEFORE the foundation of the world, but innocent of His crime. We committed every kind of offense, and they killed Him, but the power who’s over that kind of justice said, His death is not in vain — being innocent, but for them surrendering their physical life’s sinful nature for a new nature sealed from sin because of Jesus’ finished works at the Cross, or simply put, being born-again – (Ephesians 1:13.14), ALL will be pardoned by this kind of justice; forgiven, and it forgotten, plus your name then written in a special book so you are saved come the time of God’s restructuring, from those who chose to take their chances, and face their offenses alone, with no hope for redemption.
Basically, if you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, you’ll never die, your name is inside Jesus’ book, but if you don’t, and remain Worldly in spirit, you’re “The Walking Dead”. It’s just that simple.

Word of note: Lord Jesus, forgive me. For I know I’ve sinned, and I repent. I believe You lived, died, and rose from the dead in my behalf. Come into my life; write my name in Your book, and be my Lord and only Savior, in Your blessed Name, amen.
This prayer pardons “The Walking Dead”, making alive their mortal bodies; with everlasting life granted, and secured with Jesus for all of eternity, which He promises is unexplainable compared to anything Earthly in all its Majesty … What you say!!!!!!!!
