If we see the 4 living creatures in Rev
4, 5 as actual beings, then why see the 24 elders as symbolic or
representative of certain beings? Could they not be actual beings?
The song of the 24 elders (and 4 living
creatures?) in Rev 5:9-10 would support that they are angels--based
on the Majority text and United Bible Society text:
(New American Standard Bible - NASB)
“Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You
were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood *men from every
tribe and tongue and people and nation.
“You have made *them to be a kingdom
and priests to our God; and *they will reign upon the earth.”
