Day 364 - Revelation 17-19

About this episode

The episode discusses the imagery of the holy city in Revelation and contrasts it with the ungodliness represented by a harlot and a deserted city.

Later, when the seer is commanded to behold the wife of the Lamb, he sees the holy city coming down from heaven, and he says concerning her, “The kings of the earth carried their glory into her.” [ Rev 21:24 .] For in the world there are two cities, one that arises from the abyss and the other that comes down from heaven. And so now he compares the same ungodliness, which he had described in the form of a harlot made naked and burned up, with the ruins of a deserted city—The Venerable Bede
