[8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
[27] And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
But I couldn't find exactly who will be written in the book of life, only those who won't be. Geez, I probably got 144 thousand from some movie..

Revelation 7: 1-9
Pay particular attention to verse 9.
1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3"Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." 4Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
___ 5From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
___from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
___from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
___ 6from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
___from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
___from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
___ 7from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
___from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
___from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
___ 8from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
___from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
___from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
9After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
