What real-world area would the New Jerusalem's 1,500-mile size cover?
The New Jerusalem’s 1,500-mile dimensions would cover an area comparable to the distance from New York City to Denver, then Denver to Mexico City, then Mexico City out into the South Atlantic, and back to New York. This forms a 1,500-mile square, and the city also extends 1,500 miles upward.
Les explains that the city is measured as four square, meaning it is not merely a flat city with length and width but also has height. It will be 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles wide, and 1,500 miles high. To make that understandable, Les says the 1,500-mile square would stretch from New York City to Denver, from Denver to Mexico City, from Mexico City out into the South Atlantic, and then back to New York. He also notes that some think it might be a pyramid, but he thinks it will be a cube, and it goes up 1,500 miles as well.
