This is exactly what I needed to read this morning. Thank you. You have helped me more than you realize.
Excellent, biblical analysis and expository conclusion. The 24 elders represent the raptured church, the glorified “bride of Christ” in heaven.
Or not
I always thought it was the Jacob’s twelve sons, (the 12 tribes of Israel), plus the 12 Apostles, (minus Judas and plus Paul). BTW, I assume the 4 beasts are added to the 24 to make 28, which is a multiple of 7.
Could it be possible that the 24 Elders are actually 24 Elders? Nothing more, nothing less?
It is truly amazing how people shoehorn and connect verses in the Bible to fit their theories.
Revelation was mentioned in the first verse as a revealing, not a riddle.
So, where in scripture are we instructed figure out all the prophecies in advance?
