Revelation 5:5
5:5 Then
one of the elders said
to me, “Stop weeping!
Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered;
thus he can open
the scroll and its seven seals.”
Isaiah 29:11-12
29:11 To you this entire prophetic revelation is like words in a sealed scroll. When they hand it to one who can read and say, “Read this,” he responds, “I can’t, because it is sealed.”
29:12 Or when they hand the scroll to one who can’t read and say, “Read this,” he says, “I can’t read.”
Isaiah 41:22-23
41:22 “Let them produce evidence! Let them tell us what will happen!
Tell us about your earlier predictive oracles,
so we may examine them and see how they were fulfilled.
Or decree for us some future events!
41:23 Predict how future events will turn out,
so we might know you are gods.
Yes, do something good or bad,
so we might be frightened and in awe.
