Ezekiel 3:15 and Tel Aviv?

Question

Ezekiel 3:15 – Tav~Lamed Aleph~Bet~Yud~Bet spells Tel Aviv, home of prophet Ezekiel.

It is located on the river Kbar. Kaf~Bet~Resh means “far off”.

Is this the same as modern day Tel Aviv?

    There is no connection between the Tel Aviv of Ezekiel and the Tel Aviv of today.

    The name Tel Aviv in Hebrew means “Hill of Spring.” It was the title given by Nachum Sokolow to his Hebrew translation of Theodor Herzl’s book Altneuland. It symbolizes the rejuvenation of the Jewish People with their return to the Land of Israel.
