Rev. 14, Rev. 16 and Rev. 18 are all three the same events. Rev. 14: The Harvest BABYLON FALLS. Rev. 16 is Armageddon, when the Nations FALL God sees them as BABYLON FALLING. Rev. 18, the Whole Chapter is about BABYLON FALLING because Babylon is World Governance (The World) and the Plagues rain down on the WHOLE WORLD not ONE CITY !!
Rev. 19 is the Church in Heaven, but it ends with Babylon Falling also. The Marriage Supper is at Armageddon, that is why in Matthew 24:28 Jesus said the Eagles will be where the CARCASS is at. The Church will be at the Marriage Supper. So all four Chapters cover the exact SAME EVENT.
that great city - babylon the great - can be found no more at all -
constantinople - the capital of a christian empire that would last one thousand years -
it came out of the first beast
-and-
was ended by the second beast
-
it all fits

The city called Mystery Babylon (Rev 17:18) is not Jerusalem. It is Constaninople.
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
This city was arrayed in purple, scarlet, and gold. Purple is the color associated with the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire).
Tyrian purple, (Phoenician purple, royal purple, imperial purple) was a dye prized by Romans, who used it to colour ceremonial robes.

Porphyrogenitus or “Born in the purple”. “was an honorific title in the Byzantine Empire given to a son, or daughter born after the father had become emperor.”
