Babylon is symbolic of Man’s effort to replace or overthrow God.
Just like Satan’s sin was pride and trying to exhale himself above God, Mankind has tried the same thing.
Since Mankind would have been successful in believing it had replaced God, God decided to confuses the languages.
As to the actual city, in different times, this will actually be a different place.
Jerusalem? No. Why? Because God has a special place for Jerusalem, not based on it’s or it’s inhabitant’s behavior. Once God makes a promise, it’s done.
And no, God cannot make mistakes, he has not replaced the Jews or Jerusalem. We must wait on his timing.
I like your homepage.

Where does it say that?

Is that why it was completely destroyed and leveled in 70 AD, to the point that soldiers plowed salt into the soil? The word desolate took on a new meaning after the destruction of Jerusalem and the accompanying slaughter and starvation that killed over 1.1 million people. It doesn’t sound so special to me.
New Jerusalem, on the other hand, now that sounds special.
>>>Once God makes a promise, it’s done.<<<
What was that promise?
