A scroll is a
message.
·
Seven Represents
God’s timing. God’s perfect number, our Father's perfect message.
· The message has
writing on both the front and the back, so the message of our Lord and Savior is complete, Revelation 1:1.
Everything is being shown to us in its entirety.
·
Our Father’s hand
is open, meaning He holds nothing back from us. We have the Holy Spirit Who teaches us all things.
2 And I saw a strong angel announcing in a loud voice,
Who is worthy to open the scroll? And [who is entitled and deserves and is
morally fit] to break its seals?
·
The angels
message is loud and clear. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the
same message: that Jesus is worthy and capable of completely saving us.
3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth
[in the realm of the dead, Hades] was able to open the scroll or to take a
[single] look at its contents.
4 And I wept audibly and bitterly because no one
was found fit to open the scroll or to inspect it.

Remember what
John told us in Revelation 1: that he was controlled by the Holy Spirit, that
he was wrapped in His power when all of these things began to be shown to him.
What is happening here is the Holy Spirit is giving John a great desire to see
the Truth. At this moment John needs to see this scroll opened, because Jesus
had just told him that He was going to show him everything that was to come in
its entirety. John was empowered by the Holy Spirit to desire to see the
perfect will of our Father. The same Holy Spirit dwells within us causing us to
desire the Truth as well.

There are
a lot of people in the church that have no desire to read the Revelation of
Jesus, beware of these people. If a person is truly born again there is a desire in them
to know the Truth, because the Truth is what sets us all free, John 8:32.
