3) Who are the 24 Elders? Do you think they are all men? What is the meaning of the crowns of Gold?
1. God is Light.

2. The Rainbow is Multiplicity out of the Primal Unity.

3. No, the 24 Elders are not everybody. Most people will not get past the Judgment. The 24 are only 24. Indeed, several years ago I had a dream which showed me Prophetically the Afternoon of the Day of Judgment, where the Survivors of the Judgment were Celebrating. The Field was not very crowded. And Angel took me by the arm and led me to this one long table -- 'The Table of the Saints'. He told me that it had been set for 17 -- with 9 on one side and 8 on the other, but the way circumstances worked out, 3 additional places were set on each side of the Table, for a total of 23. So, you see, the events of Heaven are often contingent of events governable by the Free Will of Men. Where God had planned for 17, six more Souls by their own activities had muscled their way into Acceptable Status.

But you talk of 24. Well, if you would look at the previous posts by your guests, which you now presume to ignore (what, find dialogue difficult and prefer to sermonize) you would find that it is largely supposed by enlightened scholarship that Revelation deals with not the End of the World but with the End of an Age -- the End of the Abrahamic Dispensation. We are now dealing with the End of this most Recent Dispensation, a Dispensation which after 2000 Years has grown a Civilization (Catholic Civilization) which has ripened and now which is about ready to Die.
