LUKE 14:28
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

To estimate or count the cost of building a Tower one must know the cost of materials and labor. He must therefore determine how many stones are needed to complete the Tower and also how long it will take him to lay each stone so he can work out the labor costs.

The cost to Jesus to build the Tower was enormous. It would cost him his life.

He laid the cornerstone and the building continues.

The Stoning of Stephen. Acts 7
54 When they heard these things, they became enraged and ground their teeth at Stephen. 55 But filled with the Holy Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look,” he said, “I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” 57 But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. 58 Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he died.

The Conversion of Saul. Acts 9
9 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5 He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 6 But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”


Galatians 2:20
and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.
3 You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,
you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor.
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,
will be fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.

Unlike Politicians, CEO's, Directors and even managers - God's guarantees are Rock Solid !
It will be done just as he said.

Zechariah 4:17
Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel's way; it will become a level plain before him! And when Zerubbabel sets the final stone of the Temple in place, the people will shout: 'May God bless it! May God bless it!'"

SUMMARY
Jesus said " My fathers house has many rooms". The dimesnsions given for the city are vast. This in itself speaks volumes - many will be saved. How good is that ! Just how many rooms could you get in that city can be calculated by doing simple maths. Having done the math it becomes apparent that this is not likley to be a literal building . So what exactly is it and why do we get the measurents from the Angel.

It is my view that the city is symbolic for the Church from the beginning to end. The measurements are a measurement of the extent of God's Love.

PSALM 108

For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.


EPHESIANS 3:18
And I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of His love, 19and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.…

The Temple in Ezekiel's visions had side rooms all around the temple walls for the priests. Similarly - it is my oppinion that the stones in the walls around New Jeruslamem total the number of those redeemed by Christ. This number has been calculated in this thread.

FINALLY

JOHN 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Well, I don't know about you guys but I'd like to see an end to wars, famines, hate, murder, divorce, and death. So I finish with these words...

Revelation 22
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Come, Lord Jesus !

hope you enjoyed the thread !
