12,000 STADIA in length, width and height. A cube.
The actual length of a Roman era ‘STADE’ (singular) is unknown, and estimates can vary from 150 to 200 yards +/- 10 yards............
This subject sparked the artists’ imaginations, as well it should.
I expect you’re familiar with that massive series of tapestries, Alba, most of which survive. I considered doing a thread showing all of them, but finally I decided against it.
“I Go to Prepare a Place for YOU!”

The verses and painting today remind me of something I have not listened to in some years. That would be Jimmy Swaggart performing the song “There Is A City”. Don’t much care for his theology but nobody is better at “”boogy woogie gospel” than him. Will bring it up on computer and listen this evening.
Is this it? Looking for a City
Yes that’s it. I had title wrong, I guess it has been longer than I thought since I heard it. Thanks for the link.
Maybe you can do “Bible in Music” when you complete “Bible in Paintings”.
