Here are the verses:
Revelation 21:16-18
"The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass."
12,000 stadia is equal to about 1400 miles.......and 144 cubits is equal to roughly 200 feet. Can you imagine just how immense the kingdom of heaven will be?
One length of the wall will stretch 1400 miles! That's like drawing a straight line between New York & Miami.
If there are any mathemeticians out there, try and figure out approximately how many people could fit comfortably in a cube that is 1400 miles x 1400 miles.
