     Who Are the 24 Elders?

                   Revelation 4:4 & 10-11
                   Revelation 5:8 & 14

  4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the 
    thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in
    white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on
    the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever,
    and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

 11 "You are worthy, O Lord,
     To receive glory and honor and power;
     For You created all things,
     And by Your will they exist and were 
     created."

  8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures
    and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each
    having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are
    the prayers of the saints.

 14 Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!"
    And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who
    lives forever and ever.

            Who are these 24 elders?
             Another bible mystery?
                      NO.

 >>Keep in mind that Jesus states several times in the 
     New Testament: "Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob..." <<
 
                        Luke 13:28

 28 "There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you
     see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in
     the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out."

                       Matthew 22:32

 32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
     of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the 
     living."

    With that fact established, let us look again at the 
     geneology lines found in Luke 3:34-38 and make sure
     that we include Abraham, Isaac and stop with Jacob!

                        Luke 3:34-38

 34 ...the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham,
    the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
 
 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the
    son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the
    son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the 
    son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch,
    the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan,
    the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the
    son of God.

 Now we take this lineage and reverse it so it makes sense...

                       1. God
                       2. Adam
                       3. Seth
                       4. Enosh
                       5. Cainan
                       6. Mahalalel
                       7. Jared
                       8. Enoch
                       9. Methuselah
                      10. Lamech
                      11. Noah
                      12. Shem
                      13. Arphaxad
                      14. Cainan
                      15. Shelah
                      16. Eber
                      17. Peleg
                      18. Reu
                      19. Serug
                      20. Nahor
                      21. Terah
                      22. Abraham
                      23. Isaac
                      24. Jacob

   One change needs to be made: God couldn't be one of the
     24 "elders", so we remove God as one of the elders
     and replace it with the one person who is missing
     in this lineage.  Who is missing from this lineage?


                      ABEL!

    Before Seth, Abel was the chosen line
    before he was murdered by his brother
    Cain. Abel is defiently an "elder".

     Add Abel to the 24 elders list above in between 
      Adam and Seth and this "mystery" is solved!
