Is There Any Scripture That Describes the Size of the City Foursquare That Comes Out of Heaven?
1) Direct Answer
Yes. The Bible gives the size in Revelation 21:15–17.
2) Scriptural Explanation
The Bible says the angel “measured the city… The city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth… twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal… And he measured the wall… an hundred and forty and four cubits” (Revelation 21:15–17).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- “Foursquare” means its length, width, and height are the same.
- Twelve thousand furlongs equals about 1,500 miles, so the city is about 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles wide, and 1,500 miles high.
- The wall measures 144 cubits (about 216 feet if using an 18-inch cubit).
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, the Scripture itself sets the dimensions. The city that comes down from God out of heaven is measured by God’s own standard—foursquare, twelve thousand furlongs each way.

Future home of the heavenly Bridegroom and the earthly Bride

Now, the divine architect has designed a new city where He will live with his bride, just to her touch. No wonder the apostle said, "Eye has not seen; ear has not heard or neither has it ever entered the heart of man..." Let's see if we can probe into it just for a moment; see what it's going to look like. The divine architect has designed this for his beloved. See? Oh, what a place it must be when divine nature, a divine architect has designed it for a divine attribute that's been divinely predestinated by a divin...

During the time of the flood here, in 1937, this little ol' church, when the mud floors and so forth that was in it... We could ride over the top of it here in a rowboat. The floods went up. And that night when I preached the gospel... and had left my Bible laying open on the pulpit when I went home. Predicting that flood would come, I said, "I seen them measure twenty-two feet over Spring Street down here." Old Brother Jim Wisehart and them laughed at me. You remember that, Brother George?

I can see Caiaphas say, I can see Abraham and Sarah, as young people walking down the streets, looking the old city over, and the priest say, "I seen them people somewhere." And they disappeared just like Jesus coming through that wall. The same kind of a glorified body. Yes. But, brother, on that last day, after Pentecost ... before Pentecost, when He ascended up on High, as He went up, the Bible said, He went with them. He went up and they went with Him. I can see Him going on above the moon, the stars; Him and t...

Revelation, Chapter 4b Twenty-Four Elders

There you are! Your daily walk, your daily talk, your daily behavior, your heart, your soul, and all, "Holy, holy, holy, unto the Lord." No roots of bitterness, no nothing else, "Holy, holy, holy, unto the Lord. Holy, holy, holy, unto the Lord," as we begin to approach in behalf of our brother. Whosoever will may come, anointed, blood in front of him, the blood going before him, playing "Holy, holy, holy, unto the Lord." Now, that was the outer courts, the holy place, and the holiest of holies. That was God's sanct...
