Who are the 24 elders around the throne of God?
The provided documents do not contain specific information about the identity of the 24 elders mentioned in Revelation. While the documents reference "the elders" in heavenly scenes, they do not explain who these 24 elders are or provide Ellen White's interpretation of their identity. The documents do describe scenes around God's throne. For example, one passage quotes Revelation's description of worship: And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts [living creatures," R.V.], and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God" (PK 721.1). Another document similarly references the elders and the four beastsin the context of the great multitude before the throne (BEcho December 1, 1892, par. 7). However, these references simply quote the biblical text without providing Ellen White's specific interpretation of who the 24 elders represent. The documents focus more on the worship scenes and the redeemed multitude rather than explaining the identity of the elders themselves. One document does mention anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earthwho "have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub" (TA 150.3), but this appears to reference the two witnesses of Zechariah rather than the 24 elders of Revelation. To find Ellen White's specific teaching on the identity of the 24 elders, you would need to search for documents where she directly addresses this topic from Revelation 4 and 5. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What did Ellen White say about the scenes of worship in heaven described in Revelation? • How did Ellen White interpret the symbols and figures in the book of Revelation? • What did she teach about the redeemed multitude standing before God's throne? --- 📚 **thousands of passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=Who+are+the+24+elders+around+the+throne+of+God%3F)
