Verse 3
No created being (cf. Philippians 2:10) had authority to break the seals or even to learn of God’s plans contained in the scroll-no one in heaven, on earth, or in the place of departed spirits.
"What simpler and more sublime way of picturing God’s ultimate sovereignty over all history could be found than this picture of the scroll resting in the hand of God? However strong evil becomes, however fierce be the satanic evils that assail God’s people on earth, history still rests in God’s hand." [Note: Ladd, pp. 82-83.]
