Are wealthy people generally immoral and self-indulgent?
According to the context, for the most part wealthy people are living sumptuous, immoral lifestyles, feasting on their riches, abundance of delicacies, beautiful furnishings, and fabulous clothes, which Solomon called vanity. However, the speaker refuses to generalize to all, noting a few are not part of it. Scripture warns believers to come out of that system.
Les teaches that he would raise the roof over the tremendous salaries corporation presidents and vice presidents take home—a million, two million, three million dollars a year. He cannot envision any one man being worth that much every twelve months, but this is exactly where the world is coming to. He says they have enveloped themselves in all the immoralities money can buy and have no moral component. He clarifies he is not going to generalize and say all of them, because there is always that few who are not part and parcel of it. But for the most part, these wealthy people live a sumptuous, immoral lifestyle, feasting on their riches, abundance of delicacies, beautiful furnishings, and fabulous clothes. Solomon would have called it vanity. Les illustrates with Greg going to Chicago for a Cubs game but coming home more excited about the tremendous wealth people must have—big yachts and boats on Lake Michigan, wealth just to play with. This is where the world is tonight. Les notes the Lord has blessed a few believers with abundance, but most of the Christian community has very limited means. Then verse 4 says another voice from heaven: 'Come out of her.' This is not just for the final hours of the Tribulation; it speaks to believers living before the Tribulation begins, an admonition to believers who may.
