|'''Here is a deep revelation from God.''' Here, I’ll just stop here. None of these other…I’ll bring the rest of this up, the Lord willing. | |||
Notice now the earth is…Well, you turn over into the Book of Revelation, you can see how he measured it by the cubits and by the furlongs. Twenty-three hundred…So now we find out that the—the City is measured, '''“fifteen hundred miles” square.''' | |||
You know how far that would reach? I measured it off, this week. It would reach from Maine to Florida, and from the '''eastern seaboard to six hundred miles apast, west of the Mississippi'''. In other words, '''half of the United States''', just for the City. You say, “There ain’t no room.” | |||
When the sea is gone there will be, ’cause pretty near four fifths of it’s in water. That right? The explosion dries up the sea, erupts the earth. Oh, my! Remember, '''fifteen hundred miles square''', what a City! And, but, remember, the sea is gone. | |||
“And the breadth and the height are the same.” That would make it fifteen hundred miles this way, fifteen hundred miles that way; fifteen hundred miles; the length by the breadth by the height. Fifteen hundred miles, think of it, transparent gold. And the City had a wall around it. | |||
Now, now, that doesn’t necessary mean, by being equal…It said, “And the walls and the foundation were equal,” '''that doesn’t necessary mean that it’s a cube or square.''' There is another geographical measure, that the dimensions are the same, that is, '''a pyramid. Foursquare,''' “lieth foursquare,” and the walls were the same. | |||

|It will take up its abode on the New Earth, and we see in this why this present Earth will have to be renovated by fire, and why there shall be “no more sea,” for the New City is 12,000 furlongs, or '''1500 miles square''', and would reach from Maine to Florida, and from the Atlantic Seaboard '''600 miles to the west of the Mississippi River.''' In other words would occupy '''more than one-half of the United States'''. | |||
We are told that the length and breadth and the height of it are equal. '''This does not necessarily imply that it is a Cube, for there is another geometrical figure that has equal dimensions, and that is a — Pyramid.''' This is its probable form, for a wall 144 cubits, or 216 feet thick, could not support a wall 1500 miles high, and a wall that high would hide the pyramidal part of the City from view. | |||
The 144 cubits (Rev. 21:17) then must refer to the “height” of the wall. In this wall are 12 gates, 3 on each side, each gate of one Pearl, and these gates are never closed.<ref>Clarence Larkin, Dispensational Truth, or “God’s Plan and Purpose in the Ages“ (Philadelphia, PA: Clarence Larkin, 1918), 158.</ref> | |||
