Revelation5:2
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice , Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof ?
There were no weak Angels, but possibly this Angel might, in appearance to Iohn, look as if he were stronger than others; or rather so judged
from the great, and loud Voice he used.
Not that he thought any was able, or worthy. We can only conclude from hence the Impotency of Man to search, and find out, and expound the deep Things of God, and consequently the Unlawfulness of too narrow a prying into his secret Mysteries.
