Our Plans Are So Small

In Revelation 5, we see God on the throne holding a scroll with seven seals, we have God the Son as the lamb who was slain, and we have the 7 spirits of God which are a reference to the Holy Spirit in the perfection of His manifold ministry.  All 3 are present and working in concert; the Trinity.

What is the significance of the scroll? .. and why is Jesus the only one that can open it. .. oh, and why is John crying when he sees the scroll?

Why would this upset John?  This scroll holds the future plans of God.  It has to be opened. The future cannot continue until the scroll is opened.  

John did not know what was on this scroll.  It is the Divine Will.  It is the future of the church.  It is one of the biblical milestones impacting human history…  The opening of this scroll is something we have been waiting for 2000 yrs.
