Bible Question:
Who are the 24 elders in this verse? Thank you. |
Bible Answer: food, 144,000 is a symbolic number, which can mean an infinite number, with particular significance to Israel, Old and New. So you see the 24 elders, as in 12 patriarchs of the twelve tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles, Rev 4:4. The infinite 144,000 is 12 x 12 x 1,000. We would use a an eight laid on its side, but that doesn't make for very dramatic reading, especially if you are reading out loud to a Church assembly. The multitude are the elect. Emmaus |
