Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 16:19

_ _ the great city — the capital and seat of the apostate Church, spiritual Babylon (of which Rome is the representative, if one literal city be meant). The city in Revelation 11:8 (see on Revelation 11:8), is probably distinct, namely, Jerusalem under Antichrist (the beast, who is distinct from the harlot or apostate Church). In Revelation 11:13 only a tenth of Jerusalem falls whereas here the city (Babylon) “became (Greek) into three parts” by the earthquake.

_ _ cities of the nations — other great cities in league with spiritual Babylon.

_ _ great ... came in remembranceGreek, “Babylon the great was remembered” (Revelation 18:5). It is now that the last call to escape from Babylon is given to God’s people in her (Revelation 18:4).

_ _ fierceness — the boiling over outburst of His wrath (Greek,thumou orgees”), compare Note, see on Revelation 14:10.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 16:17-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 16:19

And the great city — Namely, Jerusalem, here opposed to the heathen cities in general, and in particular to Rome. And the cities of the nations fell — Were utterly overthrown. And Babylon was remembered before God — He did not forget the vengeance which was due to her, though the execution of it was delayed.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 16:19

(26) And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations (27) fell: and great (28) Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

(26) The seat or standing place of Antichrist.

(27) Of all who cleave to Antichrist and fight against Christ.

(28) That harlot, of whom in the next chapter following. Now this phrase "to come into remembrance" is from the Hebrew language, borrowed from men, and attributed to God.
