Summary
The concept of heavenly tablets (later referred to as heavenly scrolls), found all throughout history from the ancient Near East, to the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and into the Rabbinic era is often described as a divine ledger, recording the fates of individuals, nations, and the cosmos itself. These divine records are believed to be maintained by celestial beings or a supreme authority, ensuring cosmic justice and order. Whether viewed as a book of life, a cosmic register, or an eternal archive, the heavenly tablets symbolize the ultimate record-keeping system of the universe, where nothing is forgotten, and all is weighed with divine precision.
