What is included in the final world system of Revelation 18:4 according to Les Feldick?
The final world system of Revelation 18 is Babylon, comprising the whole economy—religious, political, and economic—the entire world system. Revelation 18:4 calls God's people to come out of her so they do not partake of her sins or receive her plagues in the tribulation period.
Les teaches that Revelation 18 deals with the final world system, which he identifies as Babylon. He explains that this system includes the whole economy: religious, political, and economic—the whole world system. He notes that the world is becoming smaller and more closely knit through the internet, computers, and the financial world, where trillions of dollars can be transferred in split seconds. He says this makes his long-held view that Babylon in Revelation is the whole world system far more believable today than twenty years ago. In verse 4, a voice from heaven says, "Come out of her my people," so they will not be partakers of her sins and will not receive her plagues—the things coming upon the world in the tribulation period. Verse 5 adds that her sins have reached heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Verse 6 says to reward her as she rewarded others and double according to her works. Verse 7 describes how she glorified herself and lived deliciously.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
