Revelation 4:9-10

Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever.

From Background Notes [BN] for April 20^th & 21^st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Heaven is about God fulfilling His promise to His creation. Oriented “around the throne” are other thrones whose number (2 x 12=24) implies all of God’s people: tribes of Israel and apostles of the Lamb…

…an image repeated in a different form at the end of the book as gates and foundations (21:12, 14). Powerful images of Creation flood the scene, including God’s seven-fold Spirit before the throne and four creatures representing life on earth (4:5-7). [BN, 18]
