You need to re-read it, they cast their crowns down in worship, and they sing the song of the redeemed. No offense, but you're completely wrong.

Fallen angels have no chance for redemption.
This is true in a sense. They can never be redeemed like man is, but, many have went away from Satan, because they "learned" it was not what it was cut out to be (only a few have done this). What happens to them, is very much different. They will never be allowed back above again, though.
Correct, so there is no way they will be seated on thrones around the throne of God, casting their crowns down singing the song of the redeemed. The 24 elders are symbolic of the church.
I am speaking of the fallen ones who sided with Satan at the great fall. The archangels are different from the fallen. They always remained pure.

I know what it says, and I know what John saw when it took place. The text is in error, not I. There are some errors in the bible as it stands today on certain details. But, the overall message is intact.
Why would I be talking about pure angels singing any song of redemption? Redeemed means brought back into right relationship with God from a fallen state.

Typcal.. it's God's word that's wrong, not you?
Why would God not wish redemption for a fallen Angel that wished to repent and take his side once again.
So you agree that redemption would be given to all, if asked for?
And the result? Can you list a few?

Correct, the ones above, were singing this song because of man coming back to Father.

"Fallen angels have no chance for redemption."
Why? Any senscient being can decide to be good, i think there for i am allows this. Why would God not wish redemption for a fallen Angel that wished to repent and take his side once again. What about the Nephilim, there half and half are they also beyond redemption?
John, like the other writers were under direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He was the "author", John only held the writing utensil. Much like if i have a secretary write a letter I dictate, she isn't the author, she was the transcriptionist.
