New Jerusalem



New Jerusalem

Earth’s diameter is 7,926.41 mile at Equator.  [But, if you measure the earth through the poles the diameter is a bit shorter - 7,901 miles (12,715.43 km).]



New Jerusalem dimensions (Rev.21:16)  – 1200 stadia cube; 1500 miles cube. (18.75% of diameter)

So, this proves that the New Jerusalem must be located at either the North Pole, or the South Pole!  Just imagine the centrifugal force creating an orbital wobble due to the imbalance the NJ is causing if located near the equator.  The New Earth would fly off into the New Heavens like a Frisbee with a golf ball glued to its edge.  Ever see a car going down the highway with a tire bouncing from imbalance?  Now multiply this by an astronomical factor!


Either that, or the Apocalypse of John is not to be taken “literally” but rather a true “allegory” or epic parable?!


So, will there be penguins in Heaven?  Just wondering.  I have been sitting through a Bible class for the last several months with our preacher literalizing and chronologicalizing every detail and word.  Tonight I had my patience tested.  I was hearing “plenty of room for everybody” and “walls that nobody can crawl over” and “gates that are guarded, anyways, by angels” …  really, what’s the deal?  An old mechanic two rows behind me was getting the same vibes!  I think I will re-read “The Shack”?! So, is God “Aunt Jemima", "Dinty Moore", or a Rainbow Sprite?
