And I saw a strong angel, &c. I beheld in my vision an angel of chief power, as attendant upon the heavenly court, making proclamation, with a strong audible voice, to every creature; a proclamation too great for a man to make, and yet not becoming the Lamb himself, and therefore made by an angel, and one of uncommon eminence. Who is worthy to open the book, &c. Is any being able and fit to reveal and make known the counsels of God registered in this book, and to bring them into execution? And no man Greek, ουδεις, no one, no creature; no, not the Virgin Mary herself; in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth That is, none in the universe; for these are the three great regions into which the whole creation is divided; was able to open the book To declare the counsels of God; neither to look thereon So as to understand any part of it.
