“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Take off your jeweled crown, for the old order changes. Now the lowly will be exalted, and the mighty will be brought down.
Twenty-four thrones surrounded Him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads.
Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever), the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say, You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up in honor.”
{Ezekiel 21:26; Revelation 4:4, 9-11; James 4:10}
