Revelation:11:16 @{The four and twenty elders} (\hoi eikosi tessares presbuteroi\). They follow the living creatures (verse 15|, if correctly interpreted) in their adoration, as in strkjv@4:9ff|. Though seated on thrones of their own (4:4|), yet they fall upon their faces in every act of worship to God and Christ (4:10; strkjv@5:8,14; strkjv@19:4|). Here \epi ta prospa autn\ (upon their faces) is added as in strkjv@7:11| about the angels. The elders here again represent the redeemed, as the four living creatures the forces of nature, in the great thanksgiving here (\eucharistoumen\, present active indicative of \euchariste\).
