“I wonder why this is?”
Being Nephilim... ie descended from non-humans, only half human, might explain why one’s name is not written in “the Book of Life”.
It would also explain why there seems to be a massive chasm divide between us Christians.... and the evil left now destroying our world. Most of us cannot even conceive of such evil.
It’s a rather simplistic explanation. Too simplistic even for religious leaders to admit to or acknowledge. It might also explain the left’s obsession ‘with DNA’ altering methods (gene therapy).
The Bible only hints at this. I think it would have been nice if those that contributed to the Bible had warned us and spelled it out clearly. Why keep it a secret and a mystery? Why keep us guessing? What was the purpose behind that?
“Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.”
Your quote:

Probably because our common enemy knows The Bible much better than any of us mortals do and he will use it to modify his tactics for the future.
Think about this in Revelation.
There are 28 Judgements in Revelation.
7 Seals
7 Trumpets
7 Bowls
and...
7 Thunders
God doesn’t let John write down what those 7 Thunder Judgements are. They are “Aces” up the sleeve for Our God.
He’s not giving His whole game plan away.
The same thing can be said for keeping it a mystery to us and everybody else (spiritual/human) who can read our Lord’s Word.
Keeping it cryptic, means He will use it against our enemy.
Just like the Crucifixion - He made a mockery of the fools who wanted to crucify our God. It sealed their fate and they thought they had won. LOL!
