TWENTY-FOUR ELDERS / REVELATION 4:4

(KJV) Revelation 4:4

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Who are these elders? Some believe they represent the entire church, or company of believers, in heaven (John 14:3; 2 Timothy 4:8; 1 Peter 5:4). Others believe they may be ruling angels; note, however, that angels stand around the elders (Revelation 7:11; 5:8-10). Also, the crowns they wear are victor’s crowns (Revelation 2:10), the kind prepared for believers, not angels. Still others believe the elders represent Old Testament Israel (12 tribes) and the New Testament church (12 apostles of Christ) joined in worship to God and Jesus Christ. In this case, the twenty-four elders would symbolize, or represent, God’s entire church – Old Testament and New Testament – because Christ’s personal sacrifice secured the redemption (spiritual salvation, liberation, restoration) of God’s people of all time (Hebrews 11:40). Note that these elders are real individuals who talk with John in Revelation 5:5; 17:13.
