Bible Question: Rev 5 why did John cry and weeping about the book that no man was worthy to open it? and what was the book so special to him?

Bible Answer: Known- welcome to the forum.

Here is a start and possibly the best answer you will receive... (I can say that because it's a quote and not my own answer :-).

"The proper state of mind for appreciating this chapter is that when we look on the future and are sensible that important events are about to occur; when we feel that that future is wholly impenetrable to us; and when the efforts of the highest created minds fail to lift the mysterious veil which hides those events from our view. It is in accordance with our nature that the mind should be impressed with solemn awe under such circumstances; it is not a violation of the laws of our nature that one who had an earnest desire to penetrate that future, and who saw the volume before him which contained the mysterious revelation, and who yet felt that there was no one in heaven or earth who could break the seals, and disclose what was to come, should weep." (Barnes' Notes on the New Testament Explanatory and Practical.)
