Revelation 16:20

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.

Revelation 16:19 And the great city. The great spiritual Babylon, the woman that sitteth on the beast (Revelation 17:3-5). Was divided into three parts. It was broken asunder, and shaken into pieces by the great upheaval. It is difficult to settle what is meant by "three parts". Perhaps the "three unclean spirits" (Revelation 16:13), which represent the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, are henceforth parted from each other. If this should be signified, it would mean that worldly government would henceforth be rescued from Satan's influence, and that spiritual powers would never henceforth give homage to the world. Great Babylon came in remembrance before God. The wrath of God is poured out because of her sins.
