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, if you think it's wonderful when we drive hundreds of miles to sit here and feed on his Word---which this is only a shadow ---what will it be when we live in the city with Him; when I live next door neighbor to you; and when we eat of those trees, and we will walk in those streets---when we walk up those streets of gold to the fountain, drink from the fountain; walk into the paradises of God with angels hovering the earth, singing the anthems? Oh, what a day that will be! It's worth all. The road seems rugged;...
Future home of the heavenly Bridegroom and the earthly Bride

I don't have my pocketbook with me, but if you'll notice in your pocketbook if you have a one dollar bill, they have the seal of the United States, the eagle on one end, holding the spears, the coat of arms, as it were. And on the other end it's got the pyramid with the all-seeing eye on top of it. See, they didn't know what they were doing. And on there it's wrote in Latin, and you'll find out it says, "This is the Great Seal." They didn't know what they were doing. Neither did Caiaphas know he was prophesying. Th...

...Brother Lamsa.] ... he speaks the language and can read the language and read the original documents in which the New Testament was written. So with him, it is so wonderful that he can read directly from the original script the very words that Jesus and the disciples spoke and wrote. He felt that these translations that we have are not always correct and true. And that's where the criticism comes in, because he criticizes the King James version, and some people think that St. Paul preached from the King James versi...
Proving His Word

Last Sunday, was a week ago, I spoke on the subject, "The Future Home Of The Bride And Groom," and I think we were from fifteen hundred square miles around. And it happened to be, that was exactly the measure of the city I was speaking about, fifteen hundred square miles. I've been feasting on that ever since, knowing that when this life is over, I'm going to that city. I'm bound for that city, and nothing else matters. What if the sun doesn't shine today, or tomorrow never comes, what difference does it make? We g...
