As warned about in the book of Revelation?
First, let us look at how the ancient city of Babylon originated.
Babylon is the cite of the Tower of Babel as documented in the book of Genesis 11:1-9 and is later mentioned by Nebuchadnezzar, (in his Borsippainscription), wherein he states that he built and finished at Babylon "E-sag-ila" (Temple of Heaven and Earth), the dwelling of the god of gods, Marduk; and likewise the story-tower.
Please see http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=45&letter=B&search=Tower+of+Babel for more information.
Second, let us examine what happened during the Tower of Babel incident. Man still spoke one language during that time and committed themselves to building a tower to heaven to prove that man was greater than God. When God saw this He waited for them to desist from their sin and when they did not; He made it so that each man spoke a different language and could no longer understand each other to be able to complete their blasphemy
