The angel measuring the city in Revelation 21 serves several purposes:
Mark of Perfection: The measurements demonstrate the perfection and divine order of the new Jerusalem. Every dimension aligns perfectly, reflecting God’s meticulous design.
Validation of Promise: Measuring the city reassures believers of the reality and exactness of God’s promise.
Expression of splendor: The vast dimensions of the city highlight its splendor and the boundless glory of God’s kingdom.
It reads in Revelation 21:15-17 Easy: The angel who talked to me had a long gold stick. He used it to measure things. So he could measure the city and its gates and its walls. The shape of the city was a square. It was as long as it was wide. The angel measured the city with his stick. It was 12,000 stadia (2,400 kilometres) long. It was as wide and as high as it was long. He also measured its wall. The size of the wall was 144 cubits (65 metres). That is the way that humans measure things. The angel also measured in the same way.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for such splendor at Your detailed design of the new Jerusalem as revealed in these verses of Revelation 21. Let the care full measurements symbolize Your perfection and remind us of the accuracy and care You put into Your promises. Fill our hearts and minds with the assurance of Your divine order and the glory that awaits us. Strengthen our faith as we journey towards the fulfillment of Your holy vision. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
