Well, the Willis Tower holds many offices. Many companies have their offices there. For many years Sears Roebuck occupied the largest part of the tower and the building became known by that name. Although Willis has been the largest tenant for several years, the building owners have only recently decided to change the name.
~BIBLICAL STORY OF THE TOWER OF BABEL~The Tower of Babel (Hebrew: מגדל בבל‎ Migdal BavelArabic: برج بابل‎ Burj Babil), according to the Book of Genesis,[1]was an enormous tower built at the city of Babylon (Hebrew: Babel, Akkadian: Babilu), a cosmopolitan city typified by a confusion of languages,[2] also called the "beginning" of Nimrod's kingdom. According to the biblical account, a unitedhumanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, participated in the building. The people decided their city should have a tower so immense that it would have "its top in the heavens."[3]However, the Tower of Babel was not built for the worship and praise of God, but was instead dedicated to the glory of man, to "make a name" for the builders: "Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'" (Genesis 11:4). God, seeing what the people were doing, came down and confused their languages and scattered the people throughout the earth.The Tower of Babel has often been associated with known structures, notably the Etemenanki, a ziggurat dedicated toMarduk by Nabopolassar (c. 610 BC). A Sumerian story with some similar elements is preserved in Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta.
