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.

An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 9:E-78
"You are blind and naked." Now this is really desperate. How can anyone be blind and naked and not know it? Yet it says that they are blind and naked and can't perceive it. The answer is, they are spiritually blind, and spiritually naked. Do you remember when Elisha and Gehazi were surrounded by the army of the Syrians? You recall that Elisha smote them blind by the power of God. Yet their eyes were wide open and they could see where they were going. The blindness was peculiar in that they could see certain things,...

Let's take now what will take place during that time. Oh, do you love it? Let's turn to Isaiah 65 just a minute. (Just too good to skip by. It's just too good to leave.

Isaiah 65, let's begin with about the seventeenth verse. Listen, everybody, close now. This is during the time of the Millennium when the most Holy is anointed. For, behold...

Now, is it plain? When the first seal was opened... The seals that was inside the book, these mysteries that were sounding forth---justification, sanctification, Roman Catholic church, Protestants... And when all their little battles and things left these loose ends in the Word of God, the seventh angel comes on and gathers them all up and explains them, see? And when he finishes, seven thunders utter out! And John started to write. He said, "Don't write it, but seal it." And the first seal was opened (of the seals...
The Handwriting on the wall

So, Babylon set just in that great fertile valley there, and it was surrounded and irrigated by the Euphrates River, and the Tigris. And it was a great agricultural center. And Babylon was a great city. And it's, approximately, about one hundred and twenty miles around the city; thirty miles each side: that would make it a hundred and twenty miles around. They say that the streets in the city of Babylon was some two hundred feet across. The walls were eighty foot thick, and practically two hundred feet high. They c...
