Contradiction with Matthew 24:36
This verse contradicts Revelation 5:2 by stating that no one knows the timing of end events, even though Revelation 5:2 suggests there is someone who can open the book and unveil the secrets.
Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:11
Ecclesiastes claims that humans cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end, contradicting the premise in Revelation that there is one who can open the book and reveal God's plans.
Ecclesiastes 3:11: He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9
These verses highlight that God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours, suggesting a divine inscrutability that contradicts the idea that a creature could understand or explain the contents as posed in Revelation 5:2.
Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 1:12
This verse suggests that even angels long to look into these things, implying that divine mysteries are not accessible, opposing the implication in Revelation 5:2 that a particular being can open and reveal the mystery.
1 Peter 1:12: Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
