I read Revelation 21 today and it talked about the new city or world for those whose names are written in the book of life will live.
The same sort of 'measurement' is done as for the temple in Ezekiel (i think it was). This seems to be a thing that God does. He measures out for us in Earthly standards heavenly things. He knows we can't really comprehend heavenly things too well and so he puts things in terms that we can understand. I don't think he really cares how many cubits things are. But maybe it's important, who knows?
Also he talks about the gems in the walls.
He makes the city out of things that are precious to us.
Or are these gems precious to us because they are precious to him?
The book of Revelation seems to have more questions than answers, but that's a lot like life so it's not so bad.
