In heaven

there were

Twenty-Four

Elders

having gold

crowns on their heads.

They sing the song of the redeemed, saying

of Christ, "For thou wast slain, and has re-

deemed us to God out of every kindred and

tongue, and people and nation."

Redeemed spirits who are not resurrected,

do not have crowns! They receive theirs

only after Jesus comes.

From every angle, the evidence is that in

Revelation 4:1-2, speaks of a rapture of the

Church. It is not the harvest rapture, but

it is still a rapture.
