An angel could not have been worthy to
open the book and loose the Seals, because
they are not qualified.

According to the law of inheritance, only
near kinsman could redeem a lot possession.
Neither angels or archangels qualify; they
are of a different order.

Those of the human race, no man in heaven
or earth could be found worthy to perform
the act of redemption.

When John saw that there was no one to
open the book, causing no hope of redempt-
ion, it is no wonder that he wept. But it was
brief because Jesus appeared on the scene.
