New Babylon Rising

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures you are about to see will take your words away, and fill your mind with awe and wonder.

The city of Babylon is mentioned throughout the Sacred Scriptures. It is the city where human ingenuity came to life, and made itself known as an enemy of God. It is the city known for one of the Sevens Wonders of the world, the Hanging Gardens. It is the city known for the hand writing on the wall, and much much more.

The city was destroyed, and has been in ruins for most of the past thousand years. It did lie in desolation as the OT prophets had spoken, until, under Saddam Hussein, it got a new beginning. The city was restored under Hussein, and became occupied by the U.S.M.C. during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Today, the U.S. Military refers to the location as Camp Alpha. The location north of present-day Al Hillah, Iraq about 55 miles south of Baghdad. Below is a link that will take you to the exact location on Google maps. Be sure to turn on the Photo option (under the more button) to see some real pictures taken of the restored palace.

There is reason to believe the United Nations has chosen this site for their next world headquarters (some speculation required). The area has been recently been transformed into an agricultural mecca, which the U.S. invasion and the United Nations have helped bring about. The Tower of Babel is also thought to be in this region.
