“And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.”
And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it — the threefold cosmic scope (heaven, earth, underworld) establishes that no created being, angelic or otherwise, possesses the authority or merit to unseal God's purpose. John weeps in response to this void of worthiness.
