CONCLUSION.
In 2023 we can see the ancient city of Babylon being rebuilt, and the modern part of the city developing on the banks of the Euphrates. This great city will come full circle, from the tower of Babel, then the world`s first great city, till finally in our time Babylon, as prophesied is rising again to be the capital of the world.
There are many great cities in the world, however Babylon will capture the imagination of the world and become the most luxurious, wi
Babylon the Fallen.
The religious part of the city of Babylon deceives the nations with its demonic philosophy. The people of the earth lose their common sense and become confused in their mind.
`Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord`s hand, that made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore, the nations are deranged. ` (Jer. 51: 7)
`The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golde
Babylon World Center.
God tells us that the city of Babylon will be the World Center. It will be the Political, Economic and Religious center of the world.
`And the woman (Religious Babylon) which you saw is (in) that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.` (Rev. 17: 18)
We can see events moving quickly to bring this about; the ancient city being rebuilt; a modern-day city planned to be erected; access to a deep-water port for every type of ship on the sea; an
The Grand Port of Faw.
The Grand Faw is the port under construction on the coast of Iraq, on the northern tip of the Persian Gulf. The port is considered a strategic national project for Iraq and will become one of the largest ports in the world and the largest in the Middle east. It will also strengthen Iraq`s geopolitical position in the region and the world.
The port will also help create a shorter transportation corridor between the Middle East and Europe, bypassing the Suez Canal,
Cultural Tourism.
Cultural Tourism will become Iraq`s second biggest industry after oil. The government of Iraq is moving forward with plans to protect the archaeological remains of the ancient City of Babylon, in preparation for building a modern city of Babylon.
The project is aimed at attracting scores of `cultural tourists` from all over the world to see the glories of Mesopotamia`s most famous city.
The Babylon International Festival has a goal to relaunch art, culture and ev
The Future Babylon Project.
Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the area around Babylon came under the control of US forces. Much damage was done by military vehicles; however, the US are now working with Iraq leaders to restore Babylon.
This project is called the Future Babylon project. (2009)
Those involved will involve the local community and work to create a sustainable situation. Jeff Allen of the US side said, “The idea is to develop something that is g
Babylon Being Rebuilt.
The great city of Babylon passed through many Empires – Persian, Greek, Roman and later the Muslims. However, it became insignificant as a city with much being in ruins. Looting and zealous excavation caused significant damage to the area, till finally the site became officially protected and excavated by the Kingdom of Iraq, (1921)

BABYLON THE GREAT.
In 609 BC Nebuchadnezzar came to power and was made by God to be the ruler over the great Empire of Babylonia. The center was Babylon. It became the largest city in the world at that time.
`You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory, and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all.` (Da
THE TOWER OF BABEL.
After the flood Noah`s three sons (Shem, Japheth, and Ham) and their families spread out around the two rivers of the Euphrates and the Tigris. Nimrod, a grandson of Ham, became a mighty hunter and built Babel in the land of Shinar.
`Cush begot Nimrod, he began to be a mighty one on the earth…..the beginning of his kingdom was Babel…in the land of Shinar…` (Gen. 10: 8 – 10)
Babel – Heb. `Babel,` meaning confusion – Babylon.

OVERVIEW
Babylon is on its way toward popularity again. A mere 2600 years ago, Babylon stood as the greatest city on earth, the capital of the world. The grandeur of the mighty city can be imagined by gazing on the restoration that is in progress.
Babylon is where Nebuchadnezzar built the hanging gardens and where Alexander the Great died. Millennia before that, mankind attempted to build a tower `whose top may reach to heaven, and as a result, their languages were confused, and
