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.
