Revelation 21:17

 Then he measured its wall:  one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

·        The size of the New Jerusalem is enormous; twelve thousand furlongs equals 1,500 miles. This is the same distance from Maine to Florida; the square footage would approximate the size of the Moon.  (DG)

·        “A city of this size is too large for the imagination to take in. John is certainly conveying the idea of splendor. And, more importantly, that of room for all.” (Leon Morris)

·        Henry Morris, guessing that there will have been 100 billion people in the human race, and that 20% of them will be saved, calculates that each person would have a “block” with about 75 acres on each face to “call their own.”  (DG)

Psalm 39:4 LORD, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am.

Isaiah 2:15 Upon every high tower, and upon every fortified wall
