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.

Here comes Satan with all four corners of the earth with his Protestants, and with his Catholics, and all together, marching right up to the battle of Armageddon. All right. And here comes Jesus coming down from heaven with resurrected saints, vindicated Word. As I said, if God speaks to send you, He backs up what you say. Notice, if you're an ambassador from heaven, all heaven is behind you. Heaven is consisted of the Word.

The Bible said, "He ascended on high and give gifts unto men." There was a atmosphere hung over the earth, of darkness, of gloom, of death, and weary. The prayers couldn't come up because the atonement wasn't made, but He broke through that veil. He opened up the way. He broke the veil of sickness. He broke the veil of sin. He broke the veil of weary. He broke the veil of depressed. He broke every veil and made a highway for the wayfaring man, walking up the King's highway. Oh, my, when He passed the moon and the s...

What a beautiful parallel here we could run, if we want to get back to Ezekiel 4 [9] and find out there that He said... (Has anything like this happened before?) He looked at the high walls, and when he did, he seen abominations done in the city. And there went ... come forth four men with slaughtering weapons. And they went forth to slaughter everything through the city of Jerusalem. And before they went to slaughter, they held ... stopped them, for there was another one came dressed in white, with a writer's inkh...

...gh the Shekinah glory. Next, He come and was made flesh and dwelt among us, still wearing His patience. Then, He redeemed man by His blood, came into His church in the form of the Holy Ghost. And speak against that, it's a finished thing, done. Now you can see where the shaking comes, where the time they don't realize. People can't comprehend what it means.

...hall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord." Oh!---all my holy mountain. Remember, it's always a mountain. If the walls were straight up and down, the city could only be seen from the outside---or from the inside. The throne can only be seen from the inside. But notice, it would be seen only from the inside, but now we see the promise of Isaiah 4:5. Let's just read it.
