Surrounding the throne were twenty four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. (Revelation 4.4-6)
Around God's central throne were twenty four thrones. The question is asked, "Who were seated on these twenty four thrones?" There were twelve tribal thrones from the Old Testament and twelve Apostles thrones from the New Testament, the twenty four crowned thrones and elders in this vision may be representatives of all the redeemed of God for all time (both before and after Christ's death and resurrection).
In the New Jerusalem, the names of the twelve Patriarchs are on the gates and the twelve Apostles thrones have their names marked on its foundation stones. They symbolize both the Jews and the Gentiles who are now part of God's family. Close your eyes and picture the throne of God and the twenty four thrones around it.
