God`s word says that Babylon will become a heap and no one dwell there. Well, the ruins are being rebuilt, (as your link showed). That was 2020, and today there are thousands of people living in Babylon, though not rebuilt part.

Today, with renewed internal and foreign tourism and funding from the US embassy and other international donors, Babylon is coming back to life. Its still-eerie, grandiose Hussein-era palaces and guesthouses are filled with international artists invited for the Babylon festival, and thousands of Iraqis flock here every month for parties, weddings and musical boat rides along the Euphrates river.
Your making an argument that these are false prophecies. If God didn't send the Medes to desolate Babylon, then how is it to this day a heap of ruins from what archeologists claim was a city the size of Chicago?

Isaiah 13:17See, I will stir up against them the Medes,
who do not care for silver
and have no delight in gold.
18Their bows will strike down the young men;
they will have no mercy on infants,
nor will they look with compassion on children.
19Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,
the pride and glory of the Babylonians,
will be overthrown by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
20She will never be inhabited
or lived in through all generations;

there no nomads will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.

Jeremiah 51:
28Prepare the nations for battle against her—
the kings of the Medes,

their governors and all their officials,
and all the lands they rule.
29The earth quakes and writhes
because the LORD’s intentions against Babylon stand:
to make the land of Babylon a desolation,
without inhabitant.

The unwise and silly description above has nothing to do with the Word of GOD, except to give a suggestive indication for them which intend to hide from the WRATH of the Lamb: Revelation 6:15-16 -> 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16... hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne,...

The Word is GOD, GOD Himself, self-executing, understand?

Be careful or else get ready

I wasn`t inferring that they were false prophecies but true, and therefore it hasn`t happened yet.

Yes, God`s word tells us that Babylon will be desolate and no one live there. Well, that hasn`t happened yet.

Since the resurrection of believers (dead and alive) is going to happen "after the (great) tribulation of those days," "at the last trump," "on the last day," and after the "falling away," and after "that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." We are a good ways away from that day. My best understanding is that it will happen at the battle of Armageddon when some are taken (to death), and some are left to be raised and rule with Him.

What does the Word of GOD say? The battle of Ar-mag-Eddon is against three UNCLEAN SPIRITS LIKE FROGS(WHY FROGS?) , in fact three spirits of demons, a SATANIC TRINITY.

Revelation 16:13-16ISV
13 Then I saw three disgusting spirits like frogs come out of the MOUTH of the dragon(THE BEAST OF THE EARTH-Revelation 13:11), out of the MOUTH of the Beast(THE BEAST OF SEA-REVELATION 13:1-10), and out of the MOUTH of the false prophet(John 5:43-47 combined with 2Thessalonians 2:3-12 and Revelation 13:11).
14 They are demonic spirits that perform signs(2Thessalonians 2:9-10 combined with Revelation 13:13-14). They(THE SATANIC TRINITY) go to the kings of the whole earth (ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom. They will receive authority to rule[g] as kings with the Beast for one hour. They have one purpose: to give their power and authority to the Beast. They will wage war against the lamb, but the lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are CALLED, CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL are with HIM,understand?), and (THE SATANIC TRINITY) shall gather them for this WAR of this great Day of GOD Almighty.~>that is the seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium.

Our Lord JESUS warned us saying:
15 “See, I am coming like a thief.


Get ready
