`And the court shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it forever.` (Dan. 7: 26)

I understand where you get your position with this. I tend to think, by contrast, that it is the same court described in Rev 4-5, which has angels on the jury--not the saints. But this also is questionable to many people. Many people think that the 24 elders represent the saints. That is a reasonable position--just not mine.

Yes, I agree it is the same court as in Rev. 4 for it is the same scene. They can`t be angels because they are wearing crowns and are on thrones around the Lord`s throne. We, the Body of Christ are the only ones promised that. (Rev. 3: 21)

Also, they are redeemed by the blood and are out of every tribe, tongue and people and nation. Therefore, not angels. And that would be more than 24 so the 24 elders are representative of the whole Body of Christ. (Rev. 5: 8 & 9)

They can`t be angels because they are wearing crowns

The name Stephen comes from the Greek word "στέφανος" (stephanos), which means "crown" or "wreath". In ancient Greece, a stephanos was a victory crown, often awarded to champions in athletic games or used as a symbol of honor and glory.

In the Bible, Stephen was one of the first deacons of the early Christian church and is recognized as the first Christian martyr. His name reflects his spiritual victory, as he remained faithful even in the face of persecution and death.
