Heaven: how big is it?

Heaven: how big is it? by ric Gustafson


When the Apostle John was given his vision, an angel with a gold measuring stick revealed just how large heaven might be. The New Jerusalem, which is the city that descends from heaven as the eternal dwelling place of God's people, is a place beyond human imagination. It is said to be 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles wide and 1,500 miles high. This is a total area of billions of miles.
As for how many people will inhabit it, it is hard to say. How many people in human history have put their faith in Jesus?. It could be billions, trillions who knows?. The numbers can boggle the mind.
What we do know is that heaven will surpass anything here on earth that feels like home. Heaven will feel like home because we were created specifically to dwell there in God's presence. Our sense of belonging will be more profound than anything we experience here on this earth.
According to John 14:2, Jesus is preparing a room just for us in his Father's house. Jesus will prepare a place for us that will bring us ultimate joy and fulfillment.
Praise God.
