Preparing Babylon - Naming the One World Trade Center


The Coming One World Trade Center, New York

This article is from 2009, but few are aware of the name change.  It's quite appropriate for New York, the city that most resembles prophetic Babylon.

NEW YORK – The Freedom Tower is out. One World Trade Center is in.
The agency that owns the site says that the signature 1,776-foot skyscraper replacing the towers destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, will be known as One World Trade Center.
The building under construction at the site was named the Freedom Tower in the first master plan. Officials at the time said the tallest, most symbolic of five planned towers at the site would demonstrate the country’s triumph over terrorism.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Chairman Anthony Coscia says the agency refers to the building as One World Trade Center. He says it’s the building’s legal name and “the one that’s easiest for people to identify with.”

“As we market the building, we will ensure that it is presented in the best possible way — and 1 World Trade Center is the address that we’re using,” said Coscia.
“It’s the one that is easiest for people to identify with — and frankly, we’ve gotten a very interested and warm reception to it.”
