Revelation 4:10
Revelation 4:10 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 four and twenty elders fall down, etc. and worship
they joined with the four living creatures, and all the rest of the members of the church in worshipping God;
And they cast their crowns before the throne
See Revelation 4:4. They do acknowledge that they received all their ecclesiastical authority, power, and dignity from Christ.
