However, that's not what the prophecies say will happen. They describe a great army decending on Babylon and putting everyone to the sword. They describe Babylon becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah in its destruction. And Isaiah 13 (pardon the lack of a verse citation, but I'm at work and without my Bible handy, so I'm doing this from memory) specifically states that "no Arab will pitch his tent in her" again.

You just described pretty much perfectly described the archaeological site of the city of Babylon as it is today.

On the contrary, there has been a consistant Arab presence in Babylon since the Persians took it. The city was never destroyed, it just faded from prominence several centuries after the Persians took it.

Yours in Truth,

Yours in Truth,

A misnomer my friend, since it seems you are being disingenuous. The city of Babylon is not in existence today
