Revelatiom 21:16

The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth.  And he measured the city with the reed:  twelve thousand furlongs.  Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

• ·        The New Jerusalem’s length, height and width are equal. This means that it is either a cube or a pyramid.  (DG)

• ·        A cube is reminiscent of the Holy Place of the tabernacle, suggesting that the entire city is the Holy Place. (DG)

Ezekiel 43:16  The altar hearth is twelve cubits long twelve wide, square at the four corners..
