“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,”
The twenty-four elders fall down before the one seated on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever; they lay their crowns before the throne, saying — the elders' prostration (piptō) and crown-surrender enact the proper posture of all authority before God's throne; their crowns, though real (symbol of their status), are subordinate to God's sovereignty.
