There is a school of thought that, at least in the New Testament that the term "Babylon" refers to the Roman Empire and it's downfall. This notwithstanding, how do you square the fact that the town of Qweresh was built inside the ancient city walls around 1905, and those people were displaced by Saddam Hussein during a project he spearheaded to restore the site. It is clearly documented in Arabic medieval manuscripts building materials were harvested from the site to build both Baghdad and Basra
Far from being avoided by travelers, Babylon had 50,000 visitors to see the site in 2024
I am really not trying to be a contrarian, I just don't understand. When something is demonstrably false, how does the believer in the inerrancy of scripture and a bible literalist square the interpretation with this new knowledge?
