Furthermore, it doesn't show the angel or the ancients being prayed to.

Read it again. The elders and angels are offering the prayers which they have received to God.

careful careful.. The text doesn't say these prayers are directed either to the angels (a no no) or to the elders (a no no) You're adding to the text. And it is symbolic prophecy, not actual happenstance. You're trying to lift symbolism from prophecy to justify something already spoken plainly against in scripture elsewhere. The fact that it's already spoken plainly against means that your interpretation has to either (a) be wrong or (b) make God's word a lie. Those are the only two logical options. Thus in proper exegeting, we cannot conclude God to be a liar and it must mean something else. Not to mention the fact that it is Blasphemy to accuse God of lying or contradicting himself. He can do neither. Real problem you got goin there.
