Revelation 5:3 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

No man. Gr. oudeis, “not one,” including not only men but all beings throughout the universe.

In heaven. These words introduce a literary device employed to describe all of God’s universe.

To look thereon. That is, to read it and thus to reveal its contents.
