Will the ancient city of Babylon be rebuilt and become a center of commerce, politics, and religion again?

Les teaches that the ancient city of Babylon is not going to be rebuilt and will not become a center of commerce, politics, and religion again, because Scripture says so distinctly in Isaiah 13. Babylon is called the glory of kingdoms and the beauty of the Chaldees excellency, and it shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. This refers to the ancient city of Babylon, the capital of Nebuchadnezzar's empire. It shall never be inhabited or dwelled in from generation to generation; the Arabian shall not pitch his tent there, nor shall shepherds make their fold there. Instead, wild beasts of the desert shall lie there, houses shall be full of doleful creatures, owls shall dwell there, satyrs shall dance there, and the wild beasts of the island shall cry in their desolate houses. This is explicitly clear that the ancient city of Babylon, with all its beautiful hanging gardens, once destroyed, had such a curse put upon it by God that it would never be rebuilt. Les also notes that regardless of what man may try to do, it cannot be done.
