Revelation 16:19

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, ^a“It is done!”

18 And ^athere were noises and thunderings and lightnings; ^band there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake ^cas had not occurred since men were on the earth.

19 Now ^athe great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And ^bgreat Babylon ^cwas remembered before God, ^dto give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

20 Then ^aevery island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

Was divided into three parts (egeneto eiv tria merh). "Came into three parts" (ginomai again). In Revelation 11:3 a tenth part of the city fell. Babylon (Rome) is meant (Revelation 17:18).

Fell (epesan). Second aorist active indicative of piptw (-an form in place of -on).

Was remembered (emnhsqh). First aorist (prophetic) passive indicative of mimnhskw. Babylon (Rome) had not been overlooked. God was simply biding his time with Rome.

To give unto her (dounai auth). Second aorist active infinitive of didwmi, epexegetic use as in Revelation 11:18; Revelation 16:9.

The cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath (to pothrion tou oinou tou qumou thv orghv autou). "The cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger," using both qumov (boiling rage) and orgh (settled anger). See both in Jeremiah 30:24.
