we were told that the heaven has two books: (1) book of life ( for the righteous) and (2) book of death (for the sinners ).
I was thought in church that during the great tribulation after the sound of the trump of God that there will be a great agony and sorrow in the world known as the "Great Tribulation", where man would have to redeem his salvation with his blood. but where I became confused and needed clarification was where we were told that only those that their names were written in the book of life but couldn't make it to heaven because of one thing or the other will make through the turmoil of the ant-christ and redeem themselves with their blood.
when I asked why only them and why will their names still remain in the Book of life whereas they didn't make it to heaven. The answer I got was really baffling. I was then told that the names of those people have been predestined to be in the Book of life.
Brothers and sisters please I am still confused oo.
why them? what was the criteria for selection? I still and forever believe in God and His Wisdom. But I need to be cleared on this issue.
please any notable information on the subject will be very much appreciated.

Number one wrong assertion in ur post: No where it is written that people will redeem themselves with their blood in the days of the anti-christ. If ur blood can save you, then no need for Christ to shed His.
No one name is predestined to be there, ending up in either of the Books is by choice and there is still chance for repentance even in the days of the anti-christ and plague. "And books were opened....and and another book was opened which is the Book of Life...And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire"

So, before anyone will enter lake, such a person must have cast disdain at God and hate Him for who He is...know that it is after this great Judgement that new heaven and earth appeared. From above, it mentioned 'anyone whose name is not found' ...not just those who passed thrgh anti christ wahala.

it is not just two books but many but there is one that is of interest to John which is the determining factor: the Book of Life. To be in this is to have part in the first resurrection. To worship the beast is to accept and imbibe his ways and to receive his mark is to live out his thoughts, what the anti-christ stands for- that is his identity. If you flow into such identity(they are thoughts), you're gone, God will be unable to reach you again even though He tries to coz such people will hate Him for who He is, you can't convince them(That's strong delusion). It is not just a mark you receive and say "oh God, am damned, I want to repent"...*anyone who says such can still be saved but they won't even think of repentance coz they are now one with satan thrgh thoughts, his ways and workings.
These set of people will curse God and not repent, no matter what is done to them, then it is now proper for them to be thrown inside lake...because they lived a life of Death and any life which is dead and is of Death ends up in the lake which is the final judgement for wickedness.
