Why Babylon important?

That would depend on your context.

In the Old Testament Babylon was the empire which overthrew the Nation of Judah. This was a punishment for Judah turning from God's commands and worshiping idols. You can search the name Babylon on BibleGateway.com or BlueLetterBible.com to find out more. Off the top of my head the nation of Babylon is a major character in the books of Jeremiah, Lamentations, the later parts of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, and the setting of the book of Daniel.

In the New Testament book of Revelation (a.k.a. Apocalypse of John) Babylon is used to symbolize a nation or power that opposes God's work.
