“The New Jerusalem is measured as 1500 miles on a side. Where is that?”

If I were to try to impress upon you the all-encompassing vastness of Christ’s kingdom, I could say that it’s like a city that’s 1,500 miles wide, 1,500 miles long, and 1,500 miles high: something so large it would boggle the mind.

That’s exactly what John did. He was writing hyperbole, not literally.

Wrong. He did not say it was like a city 1500 miles wide. He said it was a city 1500 miles wide.

If I were to try to impress upon you the all-encompassing vastness of Christ’s kingdom,...

I would say it was world wide. I wouldn't limit it to a number that could be misinterpreted.

Since he did not say that, and since he was writing what he saw, we must conclude it will be a real city, with real dimensions.

Where and why would you get that idea??? Because a city that large is incomprehensible to people???
