Oh dad, you so crazy.

WAIT! What if the Pearly Gates are subjectively huge, but god and souls are really tiny! He could have just used regular gems! The gate would still appear miles tall and wide to a soul if it was just millimeters tall!

Rev 21:17 - And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.


"According to the measure of a man. The measure usually employed by men. This seems to be added in order to prevent any mistake as to the size of the city. It is an angel who makes the measurement, and without this explanation it might perhaps be supposed that he used some measure not in common use among men, so that, after all, it would be impossible to form any definite idea of the size of the city. That is, of the angel. That is, "which is the measure employed by the angel." It was, indeed, an angel who measured the city, but the measure which he employed was that in common use among men. "

It wasn't a micro wall, it is 25 stories high.

Why would Heaven have a wall? Walls are used to either keep stuff out of a place or trap them in.
Well, outside the city are the nations of this earth, that are not saved. Only the saved live in the city. The leaves of the tree of life are used in the healing of the people on the earth, outside the city.

So God fears the armies of man? If he really does he is not omnipotent and he is far from omniscient, we have planes that can travel far above his 250 foot wall.

No, you certainly will not! There will be no more planes, trains, and automobiles. Nothing that hurts or destroys. Besides, the angels guard the gates to the city. Don't even think about it.
No thief will break in there, be sure of that. We will be ruling the planet at this time as well, and will order the weapons to be turned into ploughs, farm tools, and such. We will have the invunerable bodies, and super powers as well. We will be able to pass through walls, and fly, and transport instantly anywhere in the universe. We will hold power over the rains, and the crops, and have absolute rule and power.
If we did allow any nice floating, quiet, graceful planes, that worked on something other than present gravity, and laws, they woulld not be able to fly anywhere without permission.

Ok so we don’t have planes, why does he need a 250 foot tall wall then? Your god sounds like a tyrant who expresses his absolute authority with massive public works and limits personal freedom.

Nothing that hurts or destroys.
This is absolute nonsense. Everything in the Universe can inflect some form of bodily harm to people if used improperly.

Besides, the angels guard the gates to the city.
What are they guarding against? The only people who would be non-Christian after a massive wall fell onto the planet would be the insane conspiracy theorists.

No thief will break in there, be sure of that.
The governments would be in a state of anarchy making currency worthless. Everything worth stealing would have already been removed because of god’s bubble wrap laws.

We will be ruling the planet at this time as well, and will order the weapons to be turned into ploughs, farm tools, and such.
The French Revolution was initiated by peasants, most of whom did not have advanced weapons and just used sheer numbers and tools to crush their oppressors.

We will have the invunerable bodies,
How will weapons harm us then? Why get rid of them? I am sure that many people would have loads of fun just shooting each other with RPGs if we had superman bodies.

and super powers as well.
GET OFF THE MARVEL COMICS DAD!!!

We will be able to pass through walls,
What is the point in gates then?

and fly, and transport instantly anywhere in the universe.
What is the point in the wall then?

We will hold power over the rains,
Rain dance anyone? What happens if two people want difrent climates? I personally like a light shower, but others in my family prefer sunny days.

and the crops,
I could swear that some pagans already covered these fields in religion.

and have absolute rule and power.
The mere fact that you mentioned ‘we’ at the beginning removes any absolute power. Your government would be an imperialistic democracy.

If we did allow any nice floating, quiet, graceful planes, that worked on something other than present gravity, and laws, they woulld not be able to fly anywhere without permission.
Oh, why would anyone even want a plane now? We’ve got transporters! My only hope is that Scotty will give me a lift now and then.

Too bad. We will rule with a rod of iron, or, in english, an absolute dictatorship. Love will conquer all. The bad guys will lick the dust of our feet. Be a good guy. That's my advice. We do that by accepting the Good Guy's sacrifice, and free gift.

Nope. Not then. As I said Love will rule, and we will not allow it.


What are they guarding against? The only people who would be non-Christian after a massive wall fell onto the planet would be the insane conspiracy theorists.
The people outside the city are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoso loveth and maketh a lie. The must have permission to tour our city.

The governments would be in a state of anarchy making currency worthless. Everything worth stealing would have already been removed because of god’s bubble wrap laws.
We will be the government, period. Currency won't even be here till Jesus comes back. The antichrist will dispose of that.

The French Revolution was initiated by peasants, most of whom did not have advanced weapons and just used sheer numbers and tools to crush their oppressors.
And our opressors will certainly soon be crushed into fine powder. No power will exist, ever again to challenge His rule. At the end of the millenium there is a rebellion, actually. But we take care of it right quick.

How will weapons harm us then? Why get rid of them? I am sure that many people would have loads of fun just shooting each other with RPGs if we had superman bodies.
To keep the normal people from harming themselves. They couldn't begin to harm us then.


What is the point in gates then?
I have to resort to opinion there. They are needed for the outside sinners for quite a while, to maintain security. Eventually, all will be restored to the original perfection. All wrongs will be made right.

Rain dance anyone? What happens if two people want difrent climates? I personally like a light shower, but others in my family prefer sunny days.
They better obey the powers that be then, and all will be well.

The mere fact that you mentioned ‘we’ at the beginning removes any absolute power. Your government would be an imperialistic democracy.
No. An absolute dictatorship of Christ forever and ever. Amen.


Oh, why would anyone even want a plane now? We’ve got transporters! My only hope is that Scotty will give me a lift now and then.
Because the people outside the city are like you and me. The ones who have the magic are citizens of that city.
