BobRyan Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Not to contradict what you said, because I think you make a good point, but if I'm not mistaken the New Jerusalem comes down to the New Earth after the thousand years. I could be wrong, I'll check it out for my self again. Its been a while since I've read Revelation. Rev 21 - the New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven to the earth. The 1500 mile high aspect may have more to do with the outward dimensions of the city and does not tell us exactly how far down it sinks into the core of the earth made new. But the interesting this about the 180 million angels "in the courtroom" idea is that it tells us that God has soooo many angels - he can afford to have 180 million just in the courtroom alone. (And of course it is "possible" that not all of the 180 million "beings" are angels) Big universe. Big God. Big courtroom. in Christ, Bob Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted August 31, 2011 Members Posted August 31, 2011 Just remember, "Oregon" is pronounced "Orygun"... not "Ory-gawn"... And for extra credit, what is the name of the governor's mansion in Oregon? Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Parade Orange Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 ATTICA? oops! Quote All progress in the Spiritual Life is knowing and Loving GOD"there is non upon earth that I desire besides YOU" PS 73:25That perspective changes EVERYTHING-suffering and adversity are the means that makes us hungry for GOD. Disapointments will wean us away wordly occupations. Even sin(when repented of) becomes a mechanism to push us closer to HIM as we experience His Love and Forgiveness.
Neil D Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 So, Let me get this straight.... We have the Angels outnumbered..... In a city, the length and with of [at least]the state of Oregon, and as tall as well,.... whose inside is bigger than the outside.... is our speculation a bit far?

Parade Orange Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 no no the angels have us out numbered and our speculation about the NEW CITY is speculation btw the way it only seems bigger on the inside cause of cleverly placed mirrors and secret passage ways Quote All progress in the Spiritual Life is knowing and Loving GOD"there is non upon earth that I desire besides YOU" PS 73:25That perspective changes EVERYTHING-suffering and adversity are the means that makes us hungry for GOD.

GoLions Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 The perimeter is square, the height is as tall as a side, but that does not mean it is a cube. It COULD BE that the height is in the center, kind of like a pyramid, or MAYBE there is a center tower or building that reaches to the clouds. Whatever it is, I hope to see it from the inside. Quote
