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

“He did not say it was like a city 1500 miles wide. He said it was a city 1500 miles wide.”
And as I “said”, he was writing hyperbole. It’s no different than saying, “That truck is a monster!” Really? Is it literally a “monster?”
No. And neither is Christ’s kingdom bound by city borders 1,500 miles on each side. John was using a figure of speech. Understand?

Numbers in the Bible are largely symbolic. That’s why you see the same ones over and over.
If you take them as strictly literal, you miss the message being given.
