John is describing New Jerusalem that will be brought down from Heaven to earth. Jesus will reign and rule from this New City during His 1000 yr reign on this earth which will be renewed and restored by Jesus at His Second Coming. There will be plenty of room for all God's children in Heaven, especially if the road to Heaven is narrow as the Bible says. God bless.

I'll let you know when I get there.
In reality since the body doesn't go there it could be tiny yet infinitely large since we have no need for space in a spiritual form. Like the little lockbox in Ghostbusters. I'm certain there is no need for bathrooms either.

No, you're mistaken. John did not measure heaven. He was measuring the New Jerusalem. It's a gateway to heaven. A portal.

God is infinite. And also I think your understanding of John's writing are off. If you go on and read you will understand that John says that all the saints we shown to him there. May God Bless U.

Which one do you mean, there are seven heavens?
How does a fifty foot oak tree fit into a small acorn?
Our perception is really limited.

The author of Revelation ate one to many magic mushrooms--the Simple fact is Christ taught "the Kingdom of God is within you"--so you figure out how big it is.

Oh, *smile*....no. This is describing the new Jerusalem. The Holy City. Heaven has room enough for all who come to Christ. Plenty of room, dear.
