In Jeremiah 50:29 the Lord said that Babylon would never be inhabited again. Alexander the great attempted to rebuild Babylon. He chose it to be the Capital City for the Empire of Greece. In 324 he decided to rebuild it, within a year he was dead at the age of 33 and his plans died with him. Sadam Hussein attempted to rebuild Babylon, look what happened to him before he could do it! He built some walls with no roof over them and no inhabitants in them. God said it would never be rebuilt and it never will be. There are plans today to make Babylon’s ruins a tourist site, but there are no plans to rebuild.
