Revelation 5:4

So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.

·        It was a great disappointment to the apostle.  He was very desirous to see and know more of the mind and will of God.  (MH)

1 Kings 1:52  Then Solomon said, ‘If he proves himself a worthy man, not one hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”

Exodus 24:7  Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people.  And they said, “All that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient.”
