Revelation 5:3 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And no man - Ουδεις· No person or being.

In heaven - Among all the angels of God.

Nor in the earth - No human being.

Neither under the earth - No disembodied spirit, nor any demon. Neither angels, men, nor devils, can fathom the decrees of God.

Neither to look thereon - None can look into it unless it be opened, and none can open it unless the seals be unloosed.

Revelation 5:3

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
