The city-state of Babylon is synonymous with rebellion against God. The unique tower built after the great Flood of Noah, was in rebellion against God. According to Jewish tradition, Noah’s descendants came together to create a society that was unified and strong. They built a tower so high that if any future world flood came, they would escape death, thwarting the wrath of God. What is interesting is that they did not hear God or listen to His prophets. The LORD told Noah that the great Flood was the first and last time He would cover the earth with water. Scripture says, “So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they
ceased building the city. Therefore, its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth” ( G E N E S I S 1 1 : 8 - 9 ) . Since that time, the city built on the Babylonian plain was known for its human pride and idolatry against God’s will. The ancient city of Babylon,
whom God used to bring judgment to Jerusalem, is prophesied against by Jeremiah in chapter 51.
