--Isaiah-- And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it [is] sealed: (29:11) --Daniel-- But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (12:4) --Revelation-- And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. (5:1) And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? (5:2) And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. (5:3) And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. (5:4) And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (5:5) |
