Regarding the NEW JERUSALEM, the bible did give accurate measurements concerning the size. And ill tell you one thing, it's quite too large to fit on the earth. Actually, if it were placed on this earth, the highest point of the NEW JERUSALEM would be in outter space, or even farther. I guess we will have to wait and see. God Bless!
Perhaps, dear exjw (peace to you!). But perhaps you will consider the following truths:
"The God that made the world and all the things in it, being, as this One is, Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples..."
"YOU
are fellow citizens of the holy ones and are members of the household of God,
and YOU have been built up upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ [Jesus] himself is the foundation cornerstone. In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together, is growing into a holy temple for JaHVeH. In union with him YOU , too, are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit." "Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and let us give him the glory, because themarriage of the Lamb has arrivedand his wife has prepared herself.Yes, it has been granted to her to be arrayed in bright, clean, fine linen, for the fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the holy ones.”
"I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
"Come here,I will show youthe bride, the Lamb’s wife.” So he carried me away in [the power of the] spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heavenfrom Godand having the glory of God.
"Its radiance was likea most precious stone, as a jasper stone shining crystal-clear."
"Coming to him as to a living stone, rejected, it is true, by men, but chosen, precious, with God,YOU yourselves also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house for the purpose of a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through [Jesus] Christ.For it is contained in Scripture: “Look!I am layingin Zion a stone, chosen, a foundation cornerstone, precious; and no one exercising faith in it will by any means come to disappointment.”
"‘The one that conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine."
"‘The stone that the builders rejected is the one that has becomethe chief cornerstone. ... the person falling upon this stone will be shattered."
"It had a great and lofty wall and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.The wall of the city also had twelve foundation stones, and on themthe twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.Now the one who was speaking with me was holding as a measure a golden reed, that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall.And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs; its length and breadth and height are equal. Also, he measured its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to a man’s measure, at the same time an angel’s.Now the structure of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold like clear glass. The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with every sort of precious stone: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chal·ced´o·ny, the fourth emerald, the fifth sar´do·nyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrys´o·lite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrys´o·prase, the eleventh hyacinth, the twelfth amethyst.Also, the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was made of one pearl.
"For he was awaiting the cityhaving real foundations, the builder and maker of which [city] is God."
"And the broad way of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass."
"I am the way..... No one comes to the Father except through me."
"And you must make a cover [propitiatory] of pure gold, two and a half cubits its length and a cubit and a half its width."
"... we have a helper with the Father, [Jesus Christ], a righteous one. And he is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins..."
"The tent of Godis with mankind, and he will reside with them..."
"YOU peopleare God’s temple... the spirit of God dwells in YOU... "
May it be granted to YOU, dear exjw... any others who are "wishing"... to SEE... the Holy City, New Jerusalem. Now, and as she "comes down out" of heaven.
Again, peace to you... and may the Most Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies, bless YOU, as well, by means of and through the One who is the Way "into" the Holy City... and the VERY "Precious Stone" upon which that City is founded... the Holy One of Israel and Holy Spirit, my Lord and Master, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH.
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
