1018. Verse 19. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and great Babylon came into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger. "And the great city was divided into three parts," signifies that everything of the doctrine of truth from the Word was dissipated: "and the cities of the nations fell," signifies similarly everything of the doctrine of good from the Word: "and great Babylon came into remembrance before God," signifies that hitherto the church with the Reformed and its devastation was treated of; and that what follows is concerning the church with the Papists and its devastation: "to give unto her the cup of the wrath of his anger," signifies devastation by the dire falsities of evil.
