Greetings Righteous Plan! Revelation 4:4 states, "Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads." "4:4 The identity of the 24 elders can be established from a careful observation of the descriptive data. They are clothed in white, indicating purity; seated on thrones, suggesting responsibility and status; crowned with victors’ wreaths (, Gk.); and they themselves bear witness that they have been redeemed by the blood of Christ and, therefore, constitute a kingdom of priests (5:10, “us” NU, M them, “kings” NU a kingdom). Such a description can only represent redeemed humanity. Twenty-four is twice twelve. In the picturesque vision of the New Jerusalem in ch. 21, the city is said to have twelve pearl gates, inscribed with the names of the twelve sons of Jacob, and twelve foundations, inscribed with the names of the twelve apostles. A similar truth is presented in the number of elders. Both O.T. and N.T. saints are gathered as the family of God in heaven and are here represented in the 24 elders." -Believer's Study Bible "4:4 Twenty-four elders recalls the idea of the heavenly council (see Job 1-2; Ps 82), but here their function is solely to praise God." -Cambridge Annotated Study Bible "4:4 twenty-four elders. Some understand these to be angelic beings, though it is likely that the 24 elders represent redeemed people who are glorified, crowned, and enthroned. Angels are never said to be given crowns, though believers are (2 Tim. 4:8; James 1:12; 1 Peter 5:4; Rev. 2:10)." -Ryrie Study Bible Nolan |

Dear Elijah, I hope this helps.. "Twenty-four elders occupy other thrones. The identity of the elders is not certain. Some think that they represent the church or believers in heaven, but it seems preferable to view the elders as angels who comprise a heavenly ruling council (see Jer. 23:18, 22). These elders function as ruling priests in the present age. Michael, an angel, is identified as one of these chief princes (see Dan. 10:13; Col. 1:16). In contrast, the church is not prepared to rule until 19:7, 8. The white robes and crowns of gold point to those who are confirmed in righteousness and who possess ruling authority. The wearing of the crowns indicates that the elders had already been judged and rewarded." Nelson Study Bible "'Elders' These elders represent the Church. The very word “elder” has church significance (1 Tim 5:17; Titus 1:5). Crowns throughout the N.T. are exclusively presented as rewards for the faithful in the Church. These elders sit on thrones which are associated with the central judgment throne of God (vv. 2-4; cp. 1 Cor 6:2-3; 2 Tim 2:12). The appearance of these elders, already glorified, crowned, and enthroned before the opening of the sealed book of judgment (ch. 5) and before the end-time judgments are loosed upon the world (chs. 6-18), reaffirms that the Church is not to be subjected to the judicial wrath and judgments of that time (cp. John 5:24; Rom 5:9; 1 Th 1:10; 5:1-11; Rev 3:10). 'Clothed' Righteousness (garment): 3:18; 4:4; Rev 6:11. (Gen 3:21; Rev 19:8) 'Crowns' Rewards: vv. 4, 10; Rev 11:18. (Dan 12:3; 1 Cor 3:14, note)" New Scofield Bible "twenty-four elders. Representative of either the whole company of believers in heaven or an exalted angelic order worshiping and serving God there (see v. 9-11; 5:5-14; 7:11-17; 11:16-18; 14:3; 19:4)."
