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.

Now notice, so the redeemed shall walk in the light. We sing now: "We'll walk in the light, that beautiful light..." There's something in us calling out, "Passed from death unto life." It's because that's waiting. See? That's what's the attribute, what we feel. Truly, this is (are you ready?)--- this is the city that Abraham was looking for. Being a prophet he knowed that city was somewhere; the Bible said so. And he forsook the city he lived, and he went over---and look where he went. Exactly where it will be. See...

Daniel saw the same thing; A rock struck the world---was hewed out without hands, and the whole image of the systems was broke down and become like chaff on a summer threshing floor, and the wind packed it away. And the rock itself grew into a great mountain that covered the earth. Watch that mountain now in a little bit; that mountain covered the earth. Also, we find out here over in---also in Revelation there, it said, "The kings of the new earth will bring their honor and glory into it." In the earth is sitting...

We read in John---read John and Revelation 6:14 (see?) it departed as a scroll. The Bible said that it... John said, "I saw the heaven and earth depart as a scroll," Revelation 6:14. Jesus said, "Heavens and earth shall pass away," or in other words, heavens and earth shall be changed. Used that same word right there again, not annihilated. For later in Revelation 21:2-24 he seen the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven and sitting upon this earth. It doesn't mean that it'll be annihilated. The systems'...
