Secrets from Beyond The Grave
In Hebrews 11:10 we read where even Abraham "looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God" (KJV). The patriarch understood that God lived in a heavenly city. However, outside of Moses seeing into heaven and building the tabernacle furniture according to the pattern of God (Heb. 8:5) and David receiving a revelation of the patterns for the future temple built by Solomon (1 Chron. 28:19-21), after nearly four thousand years of human history, John was finally permitted to see and describe the heavenly city, called the New Jerusalem. John wrote: I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. --Revelation 21:2 The city lies in a square, its length being the same as its width. And he measured the city with his reed--12,000 stadia (about 1,500 miles); its length and width and height are the same. He measured its wall also--144 cubits (about 72 yards) by a man's measure [of a cubit from his elbow to his third fingertip], which is [the measure] of the angel. --Revelation 21:16-17, AMP The New Jerusalem is fifteen hundred miles wide and long at the base and fifteen hundred miles across at the base. There are twelve levels of precious stones that extend from the base of the city to the top. The New Jerusalem has twelve outer walls garnished with twelve different types of stones.
