What is the shocking significance of the TWENTY FOUR ELDERS?

I invite you to look at this with me:
Ezekiel 8:16   Then He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun.

The significance of the Twenty-Four Elders is missed by almost everyone! God bless you all!!! - Mitch
