What is the great city in Revelation 18 made of according to Les?
The great city is described as clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls. It represents a conglomeration of religion, politics, and economics, which will come to nothing in one hour, and the merchants made rich by her weep and wail.
Les explains that the great city in Revelation 18 is described as clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls. He identifies it as a conglomeration of religion, politics, and economics that will come to nothing in one hour. The merchants who were made rich by her stand afar off, weeping and wailing, casting dust on their heads, and saying, 'Alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all who had ships in the sea, by reason of her coastline, for in one hour is she made desolate.'
