Revelation 5:2-5

God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Revelation 5:2-5 "Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with aloud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?"
And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lon of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.""

Verse 2 - strong angel - the identity of this angel is uncertain, but it may refer to the angel Gabriel,whose name means "strength of God."

Verse 3 - heaven or on the earth or under the earth - A common biblical expression denoting the entire universe and not intended to teach three precise divisions.

Verse 4 - John was deeply upset because not one was worthy to open the seals.

Verse 5 - the Lion of the tribe of Judah - One of the earliest titles for the Messiah (Gen 49:8-10), it speaks of His fierceness and strength, which although glimpsed in His first coming, do not appear in their fullness until the moment anticipated here.

Verse 5 - the Root of David - Another clearly messianic title (Isa 11:1-10), it anticipates His being a descendant of David, who with devastating force will compel the wicked of the earth to succumb to His authority.

Thank you for reading. Love you all.
