I heard that! And God was so great at letting us have a little glimpse of it thru His Word. Just picture the city 1,500 miles long, wide, and tall...verse 21:16...WOW!

Rev 21:10 In a vision he took me to a towering mountain peak, and from there I watched that wondrous city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of the skies from God.

Rev 21:11 It was filled with the glory of God and flashed and glowed like a precious gem, crystal clear like jasper.

Rev 21:12 Its walls were broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates.

Rev 21:13 There were three gates on each side--north, south, east, and west.

Rev 21:14 The walls had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Rev 21:15 The angel held in his hand a golden measuring stick to measure the city and its gates and walls.

Rev 21:16 When he measured it, he found it was a square as wide as it was long; in fact it was in the form of a cube, for its height was exactly the same as its other dimensions--1,500 miles each way.

Rev 21:17 Then he measured the thickness of the walls and found them to be 216 feet across (the angel called out these measurements to me, using standard units).

Rev 21:18 The city itself was pure, transparent gold like glass! The wall was made of jasper,

Rev 21:19 and was built on twelve layers of foundation stones inlaid with gems: the first layer with jasper; the second with sapphire; the third with chalcedony; the fourth with emerald;

Rev 21:20 the fifth with sardonyx; the sixth layer with sardus; the seventh with chrysolite; the eighth with beryl; the ninth with topaz; the tenth with chrysoprase; the eleventh with jacinth; the twelfth with amethyst.

Rev 21:21 The twelve gates were made of pearls--each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure, transparent gold, like glass.

Rev 21:22 No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are worshiped in it everywhere.

Rev 21:23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to light it, for the glory of God and of the Lamb illuminate it.

Rev 21:24 Its light will light the nations of the earth, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it.

Rev 21:25 Its gates never close; they stay open all day long--and there is no night!

Rev 21:26 And the glory and honor of all the nations shall be brought into it.

Rev 21:27 Nothing evil will be permitted in it--no one immoral or dishonest--but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Rev 22:1 And he pointed out to me a river of pure Water of Life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb,

Rev 22:2 coursing down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew Trees of Life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month; the leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.

Rev 22:3 There shall be nothing in the city that is evil; for the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him.

Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be written on their foreheads.

Rev 22:5 And there will be no night there--no need for lamps or sun--for the Lord God will be their light; and they shall reign forever and ever.

Rev 22:6 Then the angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true: 'I am coming soon!' God, who tells his prophets what the future holds, has sent his angel to tell you this will happen soon.

Rev 22:7 Blessed are those who believe it and all else written in the scroll."
