If you're understanding is that everyone becomes angels that is against what it says.
At no point have I ever suggested anything like that.
The angels in that passage are in heaven.
The same words are used on the great crowd. This tells you where the great crowd is.

Those passages are just poetic passages. Look:
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth
God doesn't actually have a mouth, and there isn't a rod hanging out of it!
They're not meant to be taken literally.
They were written when the Jews were in exile. They were passages about the restoration of Israel!

A Believer...copy and pasting bits of the Bible isn't forming coherent logical arguments.
It just shows you know how to use ctrl c and ctrl v.

And I saw standing in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a lamb that seemed to have been slaughtered,having seven horns and seven eyes, and the eyes mean the seven spirits of God that have been sent out into the whole earth.
So where are the four living creatures?
Where are the elders?
The lamb?

You'd find it more rewarding and less painful to slam your head into a brick wall.
I pity them.
They've spent the last 24 hours desperately trying to find anywhere which might help but can only find a passage where people are using illustrative language. Whilst standing in a part of the temple which uses the wrong greek word!

No you haven't.
You're ignoring herion!
How does that fit with your claim?

It's very simple.
Where are these angels? Heaven or earth?
7:11 All the angels were standing around the throne and the elder and the four living creatures, and they fell facedown before the throne and worshipped God
So where are the great crowd then?
7:15 - That is why they are before the throne of God, and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them
The angels are before the throne. So that means they are in...?
The great crowd are before the throne - in his temple (naos). So that means they are...?

John 2:19
Jesus replied to them: “Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jesus was speaking using illustrative language - by temple he was talking about himself and his resurrection after three days. Naos would be the correct word to use, not the word for the outer courtyards heiron.
The Jews didn't get what he was saying.
Which feels familiar.
