Don't...The elders around the throne are ANGELS! Don't let the crowns slip you up. At Re 20:4, Israels sit on thrones but the "power of judging was given them." The 24 elders never receiving this power. You shouldn't assume they do. Also note the following:<br /><br />There are 4 living creatures and 24 elders. This adds up to 28. There are 7 each of seals, trumpets, thunders, and plagues. This adds up to 28. If you count all the angels as they are called to service. I know you are asking, what about the 7 thunders? Read Re 14:6-20. Here are the 7 thunders with th 7 angels. I know. John was told not to write it down. He didn't then but he was shown it here.<br /><br />Another point to makes is this. The 7's of Revelation speak of the same event. So in actuality, the 7 seals, trumpets, thunders, and plagues are the 4 corners of the same event. They happen simulataneouly not consecutively as some think.<br /><br />The 4 living creature after the opening of the first four seals take their station at the four corners of the earth. At this time 12 elders executing their message with them. Any questions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
