Christ and His Army: part of a bigger picture - Part 2

Last post we finished with the following structure:

angel from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit (vss. 9:1-11)
army (στράτευμα) (vs. 9:16)
the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit (vs. 11:7)
------------------
the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit (vs.17:8)
army (στράτευμα) (vss. 19:14,19)
angel from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit (vs. 20:1-3)

What else can be said of this structure? What else can be added to it?

Look at Revelation 11:13 and 16:18,19.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the [great (vs.8)] city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

18 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.
