Revelation 16:19

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

A. The “great city” is the same as several terms used in the book of Revelation.

 Great city - 16:19

 Great whore - 17:1

 Babylon the Great - 17:5, 18:2

B. In connection with these terms are usually terms of immoral behavior. Drunk with wine, harlot, and fornication are the trademarks. It seems clear to me that this great city represents immorality in the world.

C. In addition to persecuting governments and false religions, we also have immorality seeking to lead Christians away from faithfulness to God.

D. Divided into three parts is similar to the “third part” of the trumpets. Remember, the number 3 is the number of God, things divine, deity. God completely destroys the city by cutting, severing, and dividing it into three parts.
