Bible Question: In Revelations there are several scriptures speaking of the 24 saints around the throne. Who are these saints and where did they come from? I have heard that they were in Paradise and went to heaven when Jesus was resurrected; however, I can find no scripture on this. |
Bible Answer: Gospel South, Consider the Twelve partiarchs of the tribes of Israel in the Old Covenant and tyhe Twelve Apostle of the New Covenant. As for where they came from: The Patriachs came from "Abrham's Bosoom" Luke 16:23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom." where the just of the Old Testament awaited the Death and Resurrection of Jesus which opened for them the gates of heaven.
