Apocalipsis 11:16 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 11:16

And the four and twenty elders
The same with those in ( Revelation 4:4 ) ;

which sat before God on their seats;
as they are also there described; and which may be expressive of their enjoyment of the divine Presence; and also of their quiet and undisturbed situation, being restored to their former places, which they now possess without molestation and interruption; for as these are the representatives of Gospel churches in all ages, they were with the church in the wilderness during the 1260 days, or years: hence we hear nothing of them from the time of the sealing of the hundred and forty and four thousand, and during the sounding of the trumpets; but now they are restored to their former seats, and upon this wonderful change of things in the world, they

fell upon their faces and worshipped God;
in a very humble and reverential posture, and in a way of praise and thanksgiving.

Apocalipsis 11:16 In-Context

14 El segundo ¡ay! ya pasó, pero se acerca el tercero.

15 Tocó el séptimo ángel su trompeta, y en el cielo resonaron fuertes voces que decían:«El reino del mundo ha pasado a ser de nuestro Señory de su Cristo, y él reinará por los siglos de los siglos».

16 Los veinticuatro ancianos que estaban sentados en sus tronos delante de Dios se postraron rostro en tierra y adoraron a Dios

17 diciendo:«Señor, Dios Todopoderoso,que eres y que eras,te damos gracias porque has asumido tu gran podery has comenzado a reinar.

18 Las naciones se han enfurecido;pero ha llegado tu castigo,el momento de juzgar a los muertos,y de recompensar a tus siervos los profetas,a tus santos y a los que temen tu nombre,sean grandes o pequeños,y de destruir a los que destruyen la tierra».
