Revelation 5:3 - Additional Comments

No one, celestial, terrestrial, or subterranean, was found qualified to unroll it or read the scroll. No angel, man, or demon has the wisdom, knowledge, or authority to execute judgment.
No human leader has the power to guide the future. No one could be found with the necessary credentials. No one could even look inside it, much less interpret and bring it about.
