"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" (Rev. 16:19). "great Babylon" here stands for Rome or the Roman Empire. God had not forgotten the sins of Rome or the Roman Empire. It would be punished for its persecution of Christians. If we don't want our sins come in remembrance before God then we better obey the gospel and live the Christian life faithfully (Acts 2:38; Rom. 6:3-4; 1 John 1:7, 9; Rev. 2:10). I want God to remember my sins no more (Heb. 8:10-12).
