The Tower of Babel, my chosen motif to symbolize the “city of man,” is painted over it.  It is burning. A fiery Babel is a reference to the doom of Babylon found in Revelation 17and 18, where Babylon is portrayed as the Great Prostitute or The Harlot, who prostitutes her love for the true God. Those who follow the Beast will burn her. “They will make her desolate and naked and devour her flesh and burn her with fire.”

Then a mighty voice from heaven will cry out, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, . . . and the kings of the earth, who have committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. (Revelation 17)

The other “city” of Scripture is the everlasting city, eternal in the heavens, a city that cannot be shaken,” (Hebrews 11:13, 12: 27-29).
