People's Bible Notes for Revelation 16:19


Re 16:19 And the great city. The great spiritual Babylon, the woman that sitteth on the beast (Re 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" (Re 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.
