Question:

Why do the 24 elders cast their crowns before the throne?

DK's story illustrates the truth here better than any writing I can think of. At the end of a cycle of evolution we go through a period where we savor the fruits of our labors represented by the gold crowns. But then we must pass into a new cycle of higher evolution and release ourselves from all attachments to the past and rewards thereof, and pass through the eye of the needle into a higher order of kingdoms.

Question:

What is the significance of the four beasts giving "glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever?"

This tells us that at the end of our evolution where we manifest the fullness of Christ, even as Jesus did, that our lower nature will yield to the higher, receive a fullness of joy and give glory to spirit instead of matter.

Who or what lives forever?

It is God in us who lives forever. Our God essence never had a beginning and shall never have an end.

Next we read:

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book (scroll) written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Rev 5:1 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? Rev 5:2 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. Rev 5:3 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. Rev 5:4
