[§181] Rev 11:16-17: The 24 Elders Worship God [Christ]

9/2/2025
This podcast explains the meaning and content of Revelation 11: 16-17, which is part of John's introduction to the Third Woe. In these verses, 24 elders representing exaltation-worthy saints, who are translated, transfigured or resurrected saints as of the end of the Second Woe. They fall on their faces or prostrate themselves to worship Jesus Christ as a victorious conqueror at the Second Coming. They identify Christ as the Lord God Almighty, a title expressing his powerful reign on earth at the Second Coming. They also declare the eternal nature of Christ as one "which art, and wast, and art to come." This doxology of praise is expressed by the 24 Elders because Christ will take great power to himself when his reign on earth begins in the future, but the 24 Elders in John's vision described the scene in the prophetic past tense confirming the certainty of Christ's reign on earth with great power commencing with the Second Coming. -------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Welcome to Unveiling Jesus Christ 00:30 The 24 Elders During the Third Woe 08:00 Exaltation-worthy Saints Escape Third Woe Plagues 15:30 Translation, Transfiguration, and Resurrection 22:07 The 24 Elders Worship/Praise Christ 29:49 Christ Hast Reigned: Prophetic Past Tense -------------------------- 🔗 Where to Find More from Unveiling Jesus Christ ► YouTube: ‪https://www.youtube.com/@UnveilingJesusChrist ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnveilingJesusChrist ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johncassinat/ ► Website: https://www.unveilingjesuschrist.com/ -------------------------- 📚 Purchase the Book of Revelation Doctrinal Commentary: Unveiling Jesus Christ ◆ Volume 1: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-book-of-revelation-doctrinal-commentary-1 ◆ Volume 2: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-book-of-revelation-doctrinal-commentary-2 💥 Use code "Revelation30" to get 30% off when purchasing both volumes together.
