Lets Start in Revelations >>>>And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; MMMM Who are these Elders????

REDEMPTION IS A WORD, A TERM THAT DEFINES ONE OF THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF SALVATION.
IT DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH THE HIGH COST OF SALVATION AND THE MEANS BY WHICH GOD RECEIVED PAYMENT.
AND BECAUSE ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE HELPLESS SLAVES TO SIN AND COMPOUNDED BY THE LAW OF GOD, IF THEY ARE TO BE FORGIVEN AND RECONCILED TO GOD, HE HAS TO PURCHASE, TO BUY THEM BACK FROM THEIR CONDITION.
AND ONLY THEN CAN GOD RELEASE THEM FROM SIN’S BONDAGE, FROM SIN’S SLAVERY AND SIN’S CURSE.
REDEMPTION IS A TERM THAT LIT. MEANS TO BUY BACK, TO PURCHASE OUT OF THE MARKET, TO PURCHASE BACK SOMETHING THAT HAD BEEN LOST BY THE PAYMENT OF A RANSOM.

Rant you are new, folks are just waiting to see your modus operandi.
Given your moniker "Rant" and your use of upper case text and
your coming on like gangbusters you should expect a little reticence on those to whom you are challenging.
By the way I am indeed waiting to meet Him in the air.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The Greek word is "harpazo". caught up
Rapture is the Latin derivation of harpazo.

In addition, the Greek word translated here as “elders” is never used to refer to angels, only to men, particularly to men of a certain age who are mature and able to rule the Church. The word elder would be inappropriate to refer to angels, who do not age. Their mode of dress would also indicate these are men. While angels do appear in white, white garments are more commonly found on believers, symbolizing Christ’s righteousness imputed to us at salvation (Revelation 3:5,18; 19:8). HI> HD
