What timeframe does Les teach for the coming of Babylon's plagues?
The text says Babylon's plagues come in one day, and this is interpreted literally as unfolding in a matter of hours, not over an extended period. This occurs when the seven-year tribulation begins, when God's wrath becomes evident after the age of grace.
Les explains that Revelation 18:8 says Babylon's plagues will come in one day, and as a literalist he believes it will happen in a matter of hours. The whole world system will calamitously disappear and literally fall. The verse lists death, mourning, famine, and being utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. Les notes the world has enjoyed God's grace for almost two thousand years, and disasters like floods and earthquakes are not God's wrath but are permitted, with Satan primarily the god of nature today. Once the seven-year tribulation starts, God's wrath becomes evident, and He pays mankind for total rebellion and wickedness.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
