ANSWER: Yes, Babylon is the system that came out of Babel. Nimrod, the chief mason of the building of the tower of Babel told people that they were cowards if they trusted in God. Nimrod was "in front of" God in a negative way. In other words, he was against God. By the same token Babylon is the control system against God. It is a control system that girdles the globe in iniquity (lawlessness). God doesn't tell Pagans to come out of Babylon, but rather he admonishes his people to come out of her (Revelation 18:2-4).

Who was in rule of Babylon when the tower of Babel was built?
The Tower of Babel is a biblical story found in Genesis 11:1-9, and it doesn't specify a particular ruler of Babylon during its construction. However, the narrative is often associated with the time when humanity spoke a single language and sought to build a tower to reach the heavens. Historically, the most notable rulers of Babylon, such as King Nebuchadnezzar II, lived much later, during the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which came long after the events described in the biblical account.
Does the Tower of Babel really exist?
The Tower of Babel according to the Book of Genesis, was a tower built in the plain of Shinar; a biblical geographical locale of uncertain boundaries in Mesopotamia. The Greek form of the name Babylon is from the native Akkadian Bāb-ilim, which means "Gate of the god", which summarizes the religious purpose of the great temple towers. Alternately, the Hebrew version of the name of the city and the tower, Babel, is attributed in Gen. 11:9 to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood and speaking a single language came to the land of Shinar where they resolved to build a city with a tower [of Babel]. God came down to see what they did and realizing that united, people were too "strong" decided to go down on Earth and confound their speech; thus they were scattered upon the face of the Earth, every single race having their own language. The Tower of Babel has often been associated with known structures such as the Etemenanki, a ziggurat dedicated to Marduk by Nabopolassar (c. 610 BC); However, the Great Ziggurat of Babylon base was square (not round). The ruins of the city of Babylon are said to be near Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq. However, the account in Genesis makes no mention of any destruction of the tower; they simply scatter and stop building it. In other sources, though, such as the Book of Jubilees, God overturns the tower with a great wind. The narrative in the book of Genesis does not mention how tall the Biblical tower was. The phrase used to describe the tower, "its top in the sky", was an idiom for impressive height.The tower's height is discussed in various extra-canonical sources, I.E:The Book of Jubilees. It mentions the tower's height as being 5,433 cubits and 2 palms, or 2,484 m (8,149.606 ft), roughly 1.6 miles high. All in all, considering the multiple versions and writings detailing the Tower of Babel and the big divergence in the details and facts on the matter, one can assume the tower to be "surreal", for lack of better words. Whether or not it did exist is up to you but if it did, one can be certain it was a number of millenia ago and the ruins are most likely not to be found anytime soon.
Are the different cultures and languages in the world a result of sin in the context of the Tower of Babel story in Genesis Chapter 11?
A:The Book of Genesis does tell us that the different cultures and languages in the world are a result of sin in the context of the Tower of Babel story. However, this story was written quite late in Jewish history, during the Babylonian Exile. The exiled Jews, who had never before seen a great cosmopolitan city like Babylon, were in awe of the great ziggurut, a pyramid-like tower, and at the same time surprised to meet people who spoke so many different languages. They associated the tower, which seemed to reach the heavens, and the many strange languages, and so developed the story of the Tower of Babel. Scientists say that different cultures and languages have existed since the earliest times of human existence and continued to diversify as our ancestors came out of Africa over 70,000 years ago. This was long before any Tower of Babel could be imagined or constructed. New cultures and new languages have continued to develop since good records began, right up to the present time.

~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.
