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.

If there was ever a time of denominational zeal it was at this tragic time. The words of Comenius describe much of this era. Comenius wrote the "ONE THING NEEDFUL." He compares the world to the labyrinth, and shows that the way out is by leaving what is needless, and choosing the one thing needful--Christ. The great number of teachers, he says is the reason of the multitudes of sects, for which we shall soon have no names left. Each church reckons itself as the true one, or at least as the purest, truest part of it...

"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,...
