According to the Bible, specifically in the book of Revelation, there is a description of the New Jerusalem city in the heavens. The measurements of this city are mentioned in Revelation 21:15-17. Here’s an overview of the measurements described:
1. The angel who spoke to John, the author of Revelation, had a golden reed to measure the city.
2. The city was described as a perfect cube, with its length, width, and height all measuring 12,000 stadia. A stadion is an ancient Greek unit of measurement, roughly equivalent to 607 feet or 185 meters.
3. Therefore, the length, width, and height of the New Jerusalem city would each be approximately 12,000 stadia or around 1,380 miles (or 2,220 kilometers).
It’s important to note that this description is highly symbolic and metaphorical, representing the grandeur and perfection of the heavenly city rather than providing literal measurements. The emphasis is on its vastness and magnificence rather than precise dimensions.
