Revelation 5:4
Compare all
2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, a“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”  
3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open1 and read the scroll, or to look at it.  
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, athe Lion of the tribe of bJudah, cthe Root of David, has dprevailed to open the scroll eand to loose its seven seals.”  
6 And I looked,1 and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood aa Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and bseven eyes, which are cthe seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Revelation 5:4

Revelation 5:3 And no man . . . was able to open the book. No one (the word "man" does not occur in the Greek) was found able to open the book, for no one can penetrate the future. It is held in the strong right hand of Him who sits on the throne, the omnipotent disposer of the future, who controls the destiny of churches, men, and nations. The sweep of the panorama, that has pictured forth upon its canvas the destiny of the Church and the world, cannot begin until the seals of this book are opened. Had no one been found able to open the seals, the closing book of the Bible would never have been written.
