Revelation 16:18 Revelation 16:18-19 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.  19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Like unto this was the effect of the mystical resurrection of the witnesses of Christ. See the exposition of Rev 11:13. See KNOLLYS: Revelation 11:13 In that earthquake the tenth part of the city fell; so by this great earthquake, the great city was divided into three parts. And the cities of the nations fell. By this great city, we are to understand the great whore, that woman whose name is mystery Babylon the great, \ which in John’ s time reigned over the kings of the earth. By the cities of the nations, we may understand all national churches: As the great whore is called the great city, the mother of harlots, so all national churches, her daughters are here called the cities of the nations who shall fall with her; that is, all the three parts of mystical Babylon, namely, the national churches of the papists, of the Lord Bishops, and of the Presbyterians; these three sorts only are for national churches. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. This wine of the fierceness of the wrath of God, is poured out without mixture of any mercy upon the worshippers of the beast, \ and upon the kings of the earth, and their kingdoms. \
