And round about the throne — In a circle, are four and twenty thrones, and on the thrones four and twenty elders — The most holy of all the former ages, Isaiah 24:23; Hebrews 12:1; representing the whole body of the saints. Sitting — In general; but falling down when they worship. Clothed in white raiment — This and their golden crowns show, that they had already finished their course and taken their place among the citizens of heaven. They are never termed souls, and hence it is probable that they had glorified bodies already. Compare Matthew 27:52.
