Examples of Babylon today
The World Trade Center collapsed in ‘an hour’ on 9-11-2001. Our leader’s resolve at that time was to quickly bring the stock market back in operation to prove to the world that America was financially strong and resilient.
The World Trade Center has since been replaced with 1 World Trade Center, or perhaps better known as the Freedom Tower. Its height is 1,776 feet.
It must not be forgotten that on 9-11-1683 the Ottoman Empire was derailed in Vienna. That stopped the western leg of the Roman Empire. Bin Laden used that date to rekindle the war.
But even a taller building than America’s Freedom Tower is found in Dubai. It is called Burj Khalifa which has 160 stories with a height of 2,723 feet.
A lesser known building in progress is the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah Arabia. The Kingdom Tower has presently completed 23 stories and is scheduled for completion in 2019 or 2020. Its height is planned to be 3,250 feet.
In a CNN article dated 11 January 2018 the Chief Executive Officer of Jeddah Economic Company made a statement that sounded more like Western Civilization than Eastern ways.
“With this deal, we will reach new, as yet unheard of highs in real estate development, and will fulfill the company’s objective of creating a world-class urban center that offers an advanced lifestyle, so that Jeddah may have a new iconic landmark…”
And lastly there are plans for a city/tower reaching a height of 3,780 feet. It is interestingly named ‘The Bride.’ It will be by far the tallest building in the world.
It will be a complex of four conjoined towers resulting in what is called the world’s first ‘vertical city.’
Where will ‘The Bride’ be built?
‘The Bride’ is to rise in Iraq’s oil-rich Basra Province.
Recall, Iraq is situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the land of Shinar.
Various news agencies have recently reported on the world’s tallest buildings.
The rebuilding of ‘Babylon’ called ‘The Bride’ in the same place where it all started with Nimrod should capture the interest of all.
