A. Who are the 24 elders? We believe that the 24 elders human beings who once lived on the earth, but were resurrected with Jesus (Matthew 27:52-3), and taken to heaven with Him (Ephesians 4:8).

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."
