Revelation 21:17.And he measured the wall thereof.— Itsthickness.An hundred and forty and four cubits,according to the measure of a man.— Themeasure of a man, the Man Christ Jesus, is1,000. His Day is to be 1,000 years in length.Adam's Day was a thousand years long. The totalmeasure is 144,000, the number of the Elect. Weshould expect to find the number of thoserescued during the Millennium shownsomewhere in these measurements; and this wealso find. The cubit, in symbolism, is flexible inlength, like the word "day." If we multiply thenumber of square furlongs in the city by the 144measures of a man the result is 144,000,000 by144 or 20,736,000,000, the estimated number ofthe sheep class at the end of the MillennialAge.— Matt. 25:34-40; Z.'05-271.That is, of the angel.— As interpreted by theangel.21:18. And the building of the wail of it wasof Jasper.— "The solid fabric of the wall wasjasper; and the city itself was made of gold,resembling transparent glass."— Weym.FM324And the City was pure gold, like unto clearglass.— Of Divine origin, and made up of thosewho have the Divine nature.Revelation 21:19.And the foundations of the wall of the Citywere garnished with all manner of preciousstones.— Mosaic manufacturers make 15,000colors; and it is estimated the trained eye candetect a million colors. In selecting and polishingthe 144,000 gems and putting them in place inthe Temple God is preparing a beautiful harmonyof characters in infinite variety that will delightthe hearts of all His creatures to all eternity.— 1Chron. 29:2.The first foundation was jasper.— Likeness tothe Father.
