Linen, Linen Cloth, Fine Linen:
an adjective formed from No. 4, denoting "made of fine linen." This is used of the clothing of the mystic Babylon, Rev 18:12, 16, and of the suitable attire of the Lamb's wife, 19:8, 14, figuratively describing "the righteous acts of the saints." The presumption of Babylon is conspicuous in that she arrays herself in that which alone befits the bride of Christ. For examples of the use in the Sept. see No. 4.
