The 24 Elders — Powerful Proof of the Pretrib Rapture

The 24 elders in Revelation chapters 4-5 are one of the strongest arguments for the pretribulation rapture. They can't be angels. They can't be OT saints. And they can't be the church---absent from the body, present with the Lord---waiting for the day of the rapture and reward. They can only be the raptured and rewarded church.
