mark Johnson's comment on 2014-03-02 08:58:28:

I believe this represents the raptured church The term elder in the bible is always in reference to the church Also it mentions crowns since angels don t wear crowns I believe this is the judgment seat of Christ taking place Some teach a post trib rapture the only problem is that in rev 19 we see the saints coming back with Christ a post trib teaches that we are raptured at his second coming Also a post trib teaching believes in Matthew the one taken and the one left is the rapture this is incorrect that verse is talking about one taken in to judgment and one left to go in to the 1000 year kingdom Also the translation for taken is destruction
