Bible Question: Who are the 24 elders in this verse? |
Bible Answer: Since the 24 elders are neither named nor identified, then we do not know their identity with any certainty. The 24 elders are "representative of either the whole company of believers in heaven or an exalted angelic order worshiping and serving God there . . . The number 24 is often understood to reflect the 12 Israelite tribes of the OT and the 12 apostles of the NT." (Zondervan NASB Study Bible, p. 1854) |
