All around the throne there were 24 other thrones, and 24 elders were sitting on them. The elders were dressed in white, and they had gold crowns on their heads.
All the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, when all things are made new and the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, then you who have followed me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.
