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, now, that doesn't necessary mean by being equal. It said, "...and the walls and the foundation were equal." That doesn't necessarily mean that it's a cube or square. There is another geographical measure that the dimensions are the same. That is the pyramid. Foursquare---lieth foursquare, and the walls were the same.

Now, when we get to the seven ... or, the sixfold confirmation, we'll find what that city is and bring it down and prove who it was, who founded it, where it come from. How long will it stand?

But let us purpose in our heart today, that in commemoration and waiting for that tabernacle to come, that we will so characterize ourselves by His Spirit that we will worship in this place as if we were in that other place, waiting for that place to come.

When God made the earth and set it in orbit (when I was preaching the other night, Sunday night, how that there's nothing fails), why, this world turns so perfect till they can tell you exactly when the sun and moon will pass in twenty years from today to the exact minute. I can't tell you by any timepiece we got in the world. It'll lose two or three minutes a month, or gain two or three minutes---the best we got. We can't make nothing that perfect, because there's only one thing perfect---that's God! And God and H...
