Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the four and twenty elders,.... The same with those in Revelation 4:4;
which sat before God on their seats; as they are also there described; and which may be expressive of their enjoyment of the divine Presence; and also of their quiet and undisturbed situation, being restored to their former places, which they now possess without molestation and interruption; for as these are the representatives of Gospel churches in all ages, they were with the church in the wilderness during the 1260 days, or years: hence we hear nothing of them from the time of the sealing of the hundred and forty and four thousand, and during the sounding of the trumpets; but now they are restored to their former seats, and upon this wonderful change of things in the world, they
fell upon their faces and worshipped God; in a very humble and reverential posture, and in a way of praise and thanksgiving.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
