I remember one of my kids doing a project and getting the measurements of heaven (cubits) and coming to the conclusion that heaven was approximately the size of the state of North Carolina.
They are not here right now for me to ask.
Does anyone know the dimensions I think in Ezekial and Revealations that were given . . . . and what we can compare it's size to?

Hi lifesigns, I gave the answer in your other post where you asked. It's fifteen hundred miles on each side and the height is also fifteen hundred miles. It's the New Jerusalem. The dimensions are given in Rev. 21:16.
Lifesigns, the New Jerusalem being 1500 miles on each side as well as its height could mean either a cube shape or a pyramid shape. I personally would prefer a pyramid shape as I think it's a more pleasing shape. Which would you prefer?
Heaven is immeasurable and we cannot even begin to fathom it's size. Even the most exhalted angels do not know the size nor Jesus. It's actually still being formed and when all souls have returned to either the natural love heavens or the celestial heavens, then it will be finished. Your talking about billions upon billions of souls.
If your referring to Heaven on Earth then it will be the whole world. That just means we will have reached Light and Life on earth and sin will no longer be a part of it. All people dwelling on earth will be walking in God's light.
I dont believe in any of that stuff about heaven being the shape of some BORG CUBE....'
It's like , when the Bible tells us that there are angels at the 4 CORNERS of the earth, I dont believe that the earth actually has 4 corners, or any corners at all actually.
I do not believe that the things recorded in both Ezekiel and Revelation are to be viewed in such a manner as people can bring out a tape measure and track down things to the nearest inch.

Revelation contains both literal and symbolic things in it. The New Jerusalem is not Heaven; it is a city that currently is in Heaven and will in the future decend from Heaven and be suspended over the earth. The dimensions of the city are given in Revelation 21.
The principle is that the Bible is to be taken literally unless the context is obviously symbolic. When measurements are given, there is nothing symbolic about it. Revelation is giving us the description of the New Jerusalem.

OMGoodness....do you ever read the book you profess so much literal belief in?
9Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." The New Jerusalem
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper.
12 It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Bride=Holy city (New Jerusalem)
Who is the bride? Christians are the bride and we are the New Jerusalem, the city...it is the church not some building coming down from heaven.

I dont know the size just as long as my mansion is up there waiting for me to occupy

The Church (believers are indeed the bride of Christ. In eternity Christians will inhabit the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:1 Tells us: ''AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2)And I saw the holy city,new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
v16) And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal.
The rest of Rev 21 then goes on to describe the city, New Jerusalem in greater detail.
Where is the logic in your question? No one said the Church isn't the bride. The subject was the city of New Jerusalem coming down from heaven.

Did you not read the passage??? The church, the bride is the city, the New Jerusalem. These are not two separate things...they are one and the same.
